How to be in mailing list

Post by look4answer » Fri Apr 03, 2015 3:24 pm

Hi,

Today, I was caught by surprise that the site service was down. Fortunately, I did find out that there was a maintenance schedule announced on the forum on March 23. I would like to know how to add an email address to your mailing list for announcement; especially, when there is a maintenance schedule, newer version support, etc.?

Thank you very much

dear look4answer,

as indicated by OPS support, there is no mailing list related to OPS issues.
You can however subscribe to an RSS feed. The link to the feed is present in http://www.epo.org/searching/free/ops.html.
Downtime for OPS and related information services of the EPO are announced in this RSS feed.


Regards,

Gerben
