DMTN-065: Data Management for LSST Special Programs
Special Programs are additional survey areas and/or observing strategies that are driven by specific science goals which build on, or are beyond, the core science pillars of the Wide Fast Deep Main Survey. In order to meet the requirements and enable science related to Special Programs, this document provides recommendations for Rubin Data Management regarding processing and serving data products for Special Programs. Hardware and processing boundaries on the potential diversity of data from Special Programs are discussed along with scenarios in which user-generated processing and data products might be needed to meet Special Programs' science goals.

DMTN-107: Options for Alert Production in LSST Operations Year 1
This document reviews five options for alert production in LSST Operations Year 1 (LOY1), taking into account any implications on LSST formal requirements including up-scopes, down-scopes or explicit violations. The Data Management System Science Team's preferred option for maximizing LSST science is to generate template images from as much of the data from the commissioning and/or science verification phases as possible and use them to run Difference Image Analysis and alert production during LOY1. A proposal to increase the sky area covered during commissioning via a "filler" scheduler program is also presented. As a potential moderate up-scope, this study presents an option to build interim templates on a $\sim$monthly basis during LOY1, which could increase the accessible sky area by ~1000-2000 deg**2 per month, and should be reconsidered closer to the start of Operations.
