InCommon Operations Notifications

[Tom Scavo <>]

Just a friendly reminder that we will sign metadata today (12/23),
next Monday (12/30), and the following Thursday and Friday (1/2 and
1/3). After that we will resume normal business hours.

Also FYI the Federation Manager will be brought down for routine
maintenance on Saturday, Dec 28 from 8:00am to 8:00pm ET. The Spaces
wiki will be in read-only mode during this maintenance window.

As noted below, all critical federation services will continue to operate 
24x7.

Happy Holidays!

Tom
