InCommon Operations Notifications

[Nick Roy <>]

Hello,

InCommon is pleased to announce general availability of version 3.0 of
the InCommon Federation Manager, scheduled for deployment on Tuesday,
September 19, 2017 shortly after that day's metadata signing is complete.

Release notes for this version of the Federation Manager may be found at:

This release introduces responsive design (targeted for use on mobile
devices) for the Site Administrator functions and provides Site
Administrators with a new "dashboard" from which they can easily
determine the status of their metadata, as well as add and modify
metadata.  This simplifies the submission of metadata.  More
simplification is planned for upcoming releases.  If you are interested
in what features are targeted for future releases, please take a look at
the Federation Manager Roadmap:

This roadmap and the Federation Manager releases this year were made
possible by the InCommon dues increase enacted by InCommon steering in
the fall of 2016.  One target for that dues increase was 'hardening of
InCommon infrastructure', and this work is part of that commitment. 
Thank you for your continued support.

Please send me a direct email at 

 if you have any
questions or concerns about this release.

Thank you,

Nick Roy
Director of Technology and Strategy, InCommon
