Abilities Digest · MondayBlog post edited by Chadd Blanchard OA LodgeMaster will be unavailable beginning at 11:00 PM EDT on Friday, May 15, 2020 until 11:59 PM EDT on Saturday, May 16, 2020. During this time, the LodgeMaster Team will be performing part two of the infrastructure upgrades started during our previous maintenance window on May 9, 2020. Part two of the upgrade is expected to take a significant amount of time. Users should expect no access to LodgeMaster on Saturday, May 16, 2020. During the maintenance window, you will not be able to login to the LodgeMaster Online Lodge Client or perform a sync in the Offline Lodge Client. With lodge events across the country cancelled due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we are working to complete all needed maintenance before lodges begin operating events again. We hope this approach limits the impact these maintenance windows have on your day-to-day lodge management in LodgeMaster.You can follow the status of the maintenance on the OA status page at https://status.oa-bsa.org. Once the maintenance is complete, we will post an update to the status page. In the event we need to extend the maintenance window for an unforeseen reason, we will communicate the extended maintenance window on the OA status page. Users of OA LodgeMaster are advised to subscribe to status updates to be alerted of changes to scheduled maintenance and of future maintenance events. View Online
