Announcing changes to the OSG software release model

After the November 14 release, the software and release team will be moving to a flexible release model [1]. Under this model, we'll be free to do releases on days other than the second Tuesday of every month.

We are making this change to deliver upstream updates more quickly without having to designate them as high-priority software releases. As a user, you shouldn't notice much of a difference since we are aiming for approximately monthly software releases. We will still distribute data releases as soon as they are ready.

Let us know if you have any questions or concerns at help@opensciencegrid.org!
