Description
We completed the transition of ROMS to GitHub. We have been working on this for the last couple of months.
The GitHub ROMS repositories are at https://github.com/myroms. For more information and instructions on ROMS framework source code, please visit https://github.com/myroms/roms/wiki.
The GitHub version becomes the official git repository for downloading, updating, improving, and correcting defects/bugs in the ROMS source code. Also, it is the version used in the ROMS-JEDI interface hosted at https://github.com/JCSDA-internal, which is currently private.
We will update the git and svn repositories hosted at https://www.myroms.org for some time, but encourage the User to transition to GitHub, which gives you access to the feature branches.
We still highly recommend users registering at https://www.myroms.org and set up a username and password to access the **ROMS forum**, email notifications for bugs/updates, technical support from the community, trac code maintenance history, tutorials, workshops, and publications. The User's ROMS forum has over 24, 000 posts with helpful information. Technical support is limited to registered users.
We do not provide user technical support, usage, or answers in GitHub.
If you have a GitHub username, we suggest following us by checking on the follow/unfollow button in the myroms repositories, so you are notifiedGitHub dashboard about changes and updates to the GitHub ROMS repositories.
You could also check on the watch/unwatch button to receive notifications about changes to any ROMS repositories. You can customize what type of notification you would like to receive.
Your support will help us secure funding from US funding agencies for continued ROMS framework management and development. It is not much to ask since ROMS is freely distributed.
