You've received this email because you have a consumer (personal) Google+
account or you manage a Google+ page.
In December 2018, we announced(Link
https://blog.google/technology/safety-security/expediting-changes-google-pl…)
our decision to shut down Google+ for consumers in April 2019 due to low
usage and challenges involved in maintaining a successful product that
meets consumers' expectations. We want to thank you for being part of
Google+ and provide next steps, including how to download your photos and
other content.
On April 2nd, your Google+ account and any Google+ pages you created will
be shut down and we will begin deleting content from consumer Google+
accounts. Photos and videos from Google+ in your Album Archive and your
Google+ pages will also be deleted. You can download and save(Link
https://support.google.com/plus/answer/1045788) your content, just make
sure to do so before April. Note that photos and videos backed up in Google
Photos will not be deleted.
The process of deleting content from consumer Google+ accounts, Google+
Pages, and Album Archive will take a few months, and content may remain
through this time. For example, users may still see parts of their Google+
account via activity log and some consumer Google+ content may remain
visible to G Suite users until consumer Google+ is deleted.
As early as February 4th, you will no longer be able to create new Google+
profiles, pages, communities or events.
See the full FAQ(Link https://support.google.com/plus/answer/9217723) for
more details and updates leading up to the shutdown.
If you're a Google+ Community owner or moderator, you may download and
save(Link https://support.google.com/plus/answer/1045788) your data for
your Google+ Community. Starting early March 2019, additional data will be
available for download, including author, body, and photos for every
community post in a public community. Learn more (Link

If you sign in to sites and apps using the Google+ Sign-in button, these
buttons will stop working in the coming weeks but in some cases may be
replaced by a Google Sign-in button. You'll still be able to sign in with
your Google Account wherever you see Google Sign-in buttons. Learn more

If you've used Google+ for comments on your own or other sites, this
feature will be removed from Blogger by February 4th and other sites by
March 7th. All your Google+ comments on all sites will be deleted starting
April 2, 2019. Learn more(Link

If you're a G Suite customer, Google+ for your G Suite account should
remain active. Contact your G Suite administrator(Link
https://support.google.com/a/answer/6208960) for more details. You can also
expect a new look and new features soon. Learn more(Link

will impact you.
From all of us on the Google+ team, thank you for making Google+ such a
special place. We are grateful for the talented group of artists, community
builders, and thought leaders who made Google+ their home. It would not
have been the same without your passion and dedication.

Dear all,
As we pre-announced in December, C string expressions have just been deleted from Firedrake master. This means that the next time you update firedrake, they will stop working. If any users have not yet transitioned to UFL expressions, they will need to following the examples at: https://www.firedrakeproject.org/interpolation.html#c-string-expressions
Anyone encountering difficulties should ask for help via the usual channels (GitHub, Slack, or this mailing list).
Regards,
David
