This is the first announcement to inc-ops-notifications. We'll use this email list to announce testing periods and/or any other important or urgent notification needs to the participant community.

NOTICE
------------
An upgrade to the metadata generation platform and underlying database structure is planned for April 12th. We will conduct a testing period from April 2nd through 11th and will produce a metadata-diff, comparing the upgraded platform ("test") and the current platform ("prod"). The metadata-diff email list is opt-in and open to all. Instructions for joining are here:
http://www.incommonfederation.org/contacts.cfm
REASON: We are upgrading the system to allow participants to submit XML metadata directly to InCommon. In advance of this functionality, we are rolling out the system carefully, in phases. Phase I is an upgrade to the underlying platform and database that manages the formation and the federation metadata for signing. Phase II and III will involve testing of the actual XML submissions and interface.
A public page detailing the processes for this upgrade is available here:

This change to the platform modifies the system that manages the creation of InCommon participant metadata. As such, we are following our Metadata Generation Change Management Policy: https://spaces.internet2.edu/display/InCCollaborate/Metadata+Change+Management
Open discussion about any issues is welcome on the incommon-participants
email list.
