Internet2 2013 Holiday Closing; Metadata Signing Info
The Internet2 offices will close on December 24, 2013, and reopen on January 2, 2014, so our staff can spend time with family and friends during the holidays. InCommon will only sign metadata *once* during this holiday break – on Monday, December 30, 2013 (at approximately 2:30 pm ET).
While our normal business services will be deferred until after the first of the year, critical federation services will continue to operate around the clock, including the Discovery Service, the Error Handling Service, the Gateway Service, and the Metadata Service. Visit our wiki for more information about these federation services.
All of us at InCommon hope that your holidays are warm and joyous and include spending time with family and friends. We are grateful that you are part of the InCommon community, and appreciate all of your contributions to making this a most successful endeavor. We look forward to working with you in 2014.
Happy Holidays from all the staff at InCommon/Internet2.
P.S. Here is a list of other holidays throughout the year when we do not sign metadata.
