Only [[Opplet.net]] and [[Redmine]] are still operational after the cloud was destroyed in order to cut costs. | + | ::''Main wikipage: [[CNM Cloud Beginnings]]'' |
| | | | |
| − | ===History of the beginnings===
| + | :[[CNM Cloud Beginnings]] is the first phase of the ''Project''. It was accomplished by the beginning of 2018. The beginnings could be characterized by three factors: |
| − | :'''Early learning systems'''. Initial works that later contributed to the ''Project'' were started as early as in 2007. The initial development team consisted of [[Gary Ihar]] as the code developer and product owner and Romanof as the PHP developer. Until 2014, solutions were presented by various combinations of [[MediaWiki]] and [[Moodle]]. A special solution to integrate those, called [[Opplet.net]], was initiated and coded by [[Gary Ihar]] in 2014. Revisions by Zlomovsky completed its first sprint in 2015. The first version of [[Opplet.net]] used [[SimpleSAMLphp]] as its authentication tool. | + | :#Many experiments including software ventures and examinations of both technology and various organizational structures designed to support that technology; |
| | + | :#Unbalanced and often disruptive availability of resources. Although the ''Team'' enjoyed assistance of a number of volunteers, donor's money, software subscriptions, and venues, the ''Team's'' inability to pay for technology sustainability ultimately led to several adverse events including the major technology crash in 2017 and further necessity to destroy the first cloud. |
| | + | :#Poor recording, documenting, and storage facilities. For instance, just few training materials were saved and just a couple of videos were taken at hundreds of training sessions. As a result, volunteer time could be utilized way more efficiently. |
| | + | :Nonetheless, a few significant concepts, lessons learned, lines of code, and the [[CNMCyber by Loredana C]] requirements were developed during this initiating phase of the ''Project''. |
| | | | |
| − | :'''Early enterprise-wide systems'''. In 2015-2016, the concept of [[CNM Digital]] emerged. Loredana C. developed initial requirements for a complex system to serve patrons of [[Career Network Ministry]] ([[Career Network Ministry|CNM]]). Later, the requirements were posted at [[CNM Digital by Loredana C]]. To implement those, Alexandrovich joined the team as the team architect and Natalia did so as the solution architect. Instances of [[Liferay]] and [[SuiteCRM]] were added and the platform was moved from [[DigitalOcean]] to [[Hetzner]] and newly based on [[Proxmox]]. Several instances of [[Odoo]] were also installed, but never integrated to the platform because [[Odoo]] didn't support [[SimpleSAMLphp]]. Romanof also installed an instance of [[Redmine]] separately from the platform. In addition, Romanof completed the second sprint of [[Opplet.net]] while moving its initial code from plain [[PHP]] to the [[Yii]] framework. In 2016, the platform collapsed and all developments, but [[Opplet.net]] and [[Redmine]], were lost. At the moment of the crash, [[Opplet.net]] and [[Redmine]] were still stored at [[DigitalOcean]].
| + | ===Embryo -- second (completed) phase=== |
| | + | ::''Main wikipage: [[CNM Cloud Embryo]]'' |
| | | | |
| − | :'''Early cloud'''. In 2016-2017, several endeavors were undertaken. Alexander was the primary technology vendor at that time, Eunice contributed to its requirements, and Wushnevska worked on [[Odoo]] and [[Redmine]] instances. Instances of [[Odoo]] were installed at [https://careernetworkministry.org careernetworkministry.org], [https://theeconomicgroup.org theeconomicgroup.org], and [https://worldopp.org worldopp.org]. At the same time, the first private cloud was built using [[OpenStack]]. However, no instance was integrated on this cloud, particularly, because of lack of documentation. Wushnevska tried to address the documenting task, but her retirement from the ''Project'' postponed all of the developments. Later, the first cloud was destroyed in order to cut expenses. Separate [[Odoo]] instances are still alive. | + | :[[File:Cnm-digital.png|400px|thumb|right|[[CNMCyber suite]]s]][[CNM Cloud Embryo]] is the second phase of the ''Project''. Several concepts, lessons learned, and pieces of software that was developed in the [[CNM Cloud Beginnings]] have been utilized in the successor phase. The ''Team'' calls the new phase ''Embryo'' because the embryo of the new cloud is going to be developed during this phase. The key developments could be summarized as follows. The ''Team'': |
| | + | :#Identified: |
| | + | :#*[[Business need]]s. These needs are expressed in User stories for the embryo; |
| | + | :#*System architecture including the core package of technology that would support User stories for the embryo; |
| | + | :#Designed and is implementing a new recruitment process based on the core package of developed technology; |
| | + | :#Dramatically increased funding for both technology development and recruitment. |
| | | | |
| − | :'''Administration as the primary difficulty'''. So, the first cloud endeavors were not sustainable mostly or significantly because of their lack of documentation. [[Gary Ihar]] hired a [[system engineer]], Anand, in India, but the cost of this engineer wasn't bearable. Generally speaking, project administration had had been the greatest challenge since the ''Project's'' inception. The development team needed some combination of [[business analyst]]s, [[system engineer]]s, and [[project manager]]s, but couldn't find qualified candidates who would have matched the existing budget. | + | ===Minimal -- third (completed) phase=== |
| | + | : ''Main wikipage: [[CNM Cloud Minimal]]'' |
| | | | |
| − | :'''WorldOpp initiative'''. To face the administration challenge, the idea of hiring newbies and grow them to administrators emerged and started maturing in 2016-2018. Later, this idea became the [[WorldOpp]] programme. An outline of [[Septem Artes Administrativi]] was developed for this ''programme''. | + | : [[Educaship Odoo]] based on an [[Odoo]] instance shall be the primary deliverable of the third phase. Other deliverables may include [[CNM Calendar]], [[CNM Tubeware]], [[CNM Mailware]], [[Educaship Jitsi]]. New sprints of [[Opplet.net]] are also expected. |
| | | | |
| − | :'''Early WorldOpp recruitment'''. In 2017-2018, several endeavors to recruit vocational learners were attempted through some [[job-bidding website]]s worldwide. However, those websites granted access to only those freelancers who expected to exchange their time to money and were not willing to dedicate enough time to learning. More importantly, the technology behind the programme, most notably, [[CNM Courseware]], wasn't developed fully yet. At that time, it seemed that the interested candidates just couldn't be directed well remotely, without personal involvement. | + | ===Usable -- fourth (current) phase=== |
| | + | :''Main wikipage: [[CNMCyber Usable]]'' |
| | | | |
| − | :In winter of 2017-2018, [[Gary Ihar]] traveled to Ukraine in order to (1) find partners for the [[WorldOpp]] programme in its current state and (2) hire apprentices who could act as prospective members of [[WorldOpp Fellow Staff]]. One of the intentions was to organize a group of apprentices on some local site. Nevertheless, neither partners nor participants were identified since the ''programme'' was still in its development stage. Two other reasons were (a) the low unemployment rate in Ukraine and (b) its residents' tendency to favor the traditional educational system. The ''programme'' was clearly not ready to be launched then.

| − | ===History of the embryo===
| |
| − | :'''Second cloud initiation'''. In 2018, Romanof as a PHP developer, [[Gary Ihar]] as the product owner, and Natalia as a vendor liaison initiated a new cloud endeavor. Its goal is to create the most simple system for onboarding employees and [[Careerprise vendor]]s. The team called this system ''embrio''.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | :Instead of a [[SimpleSAMLphp]] instance, Romanof now implemented an [[OpenLDAP]] instance for authentications. That development completed the third sprint of [[Opplet.net]]. A new instance of [[MediaWiki]] is used for [[CNM Wikiware]], an instance of [[Moodle]] is used for [[CNM Courseware]], instances of [[Apache Subversion]] ([[Apache Subversion|SVN]]) and [[Redmine]] are for [[CNM Productware]]. No private cloud itself is going to be launched in the second phase of the ''Project''.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | :'''New administration model'''. While being the [[product owner]], [[Gary Ihar]] decreased his ''Project'' involvement in order to increase new fundraising efforts. Romanof started playing a PHP sub-project manager role in addition to his technology development role. Additional finances have been supposed to be used in recruitment of new staffers.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | :The most comprehensive documentation for this attempt was originally created in Russian (using [[CNM Productware]] and the Russian part of [[CNM Wiki]] at https://wiki.ksacerts.com/ru); however, since the recruitment efforts are shifting to East Africa and the United States, new documents shall be posted at the English part of [[CNM Wiki]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | :'''Early recruitment of staffers'''. In summer of 2018, dozens of candidates, primarily from Kenya and Philippines were tested for [[WorldOpp Fellow Staff]] positions, but no one has been eventually brought on the board so far.<blockquote><ul><li>The majority of most motivated candidates were concentrated on their efforts instead of getting the results. That suggests that their project management skills needed some development;</li><li>If those candidates were oriented on some results, their desired results were not communicated with the product owner and, consequently, their efforts couldn't be funded. That suggests that their business analysis skills needed some development;</li><li>It looks like documenting remains at very least one of the biggest problems. No candidate has accomplished more than a dozen of actions on [[CNM Wiki]] so far.</li></ul></blockquote>A clear recruitment and onboarding process is considered being the main problem to be solved next. Thus, the initiative was temporarily postponed until the process based on renewed technology is developed and, particularly, [[Careerprise Orientation]] and [[WorldOpp Placement Seminar]] are launched and get operational.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | :'''Idea of incubator'''. An idea of [[Opplet incubator]] was developed in order to address shortcomings in candidate skills, especially in [[project management]], [[business analysis]], and [[technical writing]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | :'''Minimal viable product'''. In early of November of 2018, some [[minimal viable product]] ([[minimal viable product|MVP]]) is going to be launched. It shall include some registration, enrollment into [[Careerprise Orientation]] and, further, into [[WorldOpp Placement Seminar]], and granting rights of [[NetAnyone]], [[NetConsumer]], [[CertAssociate]], and [[CertFellow]].

| − | ===Challenges=== | + | ===Related lectures=== |
| − | :Lack of procurement documentation is still the primary obstacle for the ''Project'' to move forward faster. There are a plenty of developers ready to implement technical requirements, but those requirements are needed to be documented. If some backup has been ''de-facto'' implemented, the state of cyber-security is either inappropriate or unknown. | + | :*[[CNMCyber Projects]]. |
| | | | |
| − | ===Vacancies===
| + | [[Category: CNM Cyber Orientation]][[Category: Articles]] |
| − | :Neither education nor experience is needed for the vacancies listed below. Full-time (at least, 40 hours a week) availability and willingness to learn on the job (and any learning includes so-called "errors" and "mistakes") are absolute musts. Since [[English language]] is the primary medium at [[Friends Of CNM]], some level of English capacity is needed as well.
| |
| − | :*'''Urgently needed'''. Any assistance with documentation published at [[CNM Wiki]] for upcoming procurement or topics related to procurement of [[CNM Wikiware]], [[CNM Courseware]], [[CNM Productware]], [[CNM Contentware]], [[CNM Infrastructure]] is urgently needed. These topics may include any information on what needs to be done, how to select the best vendor, and how to make sure that the chosen vendor has delivered the requested product. | |
| − | :*'''Needed on an ongoing basis'''. As always, the current team is hiring staffers of [[WorldOpp Fellow Staff]] generally and [[Friends Of CNM Cloud Administrator]] specifically to expedite the ''Project''. | |
