===First-phase history===
+
:[[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:
−
:'''Initial learning systems'''. Initial works that later contributed to the project were started as early as in 2007. The initial development team consisted of [[Mina Nizhnih]] 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]], was initiated and coded by [[Mina Nizhnih]] in 2014. Revisions by Zlomovsky completed its first sprint in 2015. The first version of [[Opplet]] 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''.
  
−
:'''First 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]] while moving its initial code from plain [[PHP]] to the [[Yii]] framework. In 2016, the platform collapsed and all developments, but [[Opplet]] and [[Redmine]], were lost. At the moment of crash, [[Opplet]] and [[Redmine]] were still stored at [[DigitalOcean]].
+
===Embryo -- second (completed) phase===
 +
::''Main wikipage: [[CNM Cloud Embryo]]''
  
−
:'''First cloud'''. In 2016-2017, several projects 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]. However, the main development was the private cloud based on [[OpenStack]]. However, inability to integrate installations on a single platform and, particularly, Wushnevska's move from the project, led the developments to be postponed. The cloud was destroyed in order to cut expenses, but [[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.
  
−
:'''WorldOpp initiative'''. Recruitment of administrators had been the greatest challenge since the project's inception. In 2016-2018, several endeavors to bring new administrators on the board were attempted primarily in Ukraine and Kenya. No candidates were found in Ukraine. Dozens of candidates from Kenya were tried, but no one has been 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;</li><li>If those candidates were oriented on some results, their desired results were not communicated with the product owner.</li></ul></blockquote>Consequently, no candidate has accomplished more than a dozen of actions on [[CNM Wiki]] so far. The lack of recruitment and onboarding process is considered being the main challenge. Thus, the initiative was postponed until the process based on renewed technology is developed and, particularly, [[Careerprise Orientation]], [[WorldOpp Placement Seminar]], and [[Septem Artes Administrativi]] are launched and operational.

Opplet

CNM Cloud Project (hereinafter, the Project) is the endeavor undertaken to create Opplet. Educaship fellows are responsible and members of CNMCyber Workforce (hereinafter, the Team) shall be accountable for this Project.


Project-wide requirements

Business requirements

Main wikipage: CNMCyber requirements

Solution requirements

Main wikipage: CNM Cloud requirements
CNM Cloud requirements is the best wikipage to overview general solution requirements; however, different parts of the Cloud have their specific requirements that are or shall be published on their wikipages. A big portion of solution requirements is also published in Russian -- https://wiki.friendsofcnm.org/ru/Брацко_Облако

Phases

Five phases are identified as of December of 2018. The first two phases have been accomplished and the third is the current one.

Beginnings -- first (completed) phase

Main wikipage: CNM Cloud 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:
  1. Many experiments including software ventures and examinations of both technology and various organizational structures designed to support that technology;
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

Embryo -- second (completed) phase

Main wikipage: CNM Cloud Embryo
CNMCyber suites
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:
  1. Identified:
    • Business needs. 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;
  2. Designed and is implementing a new recruitment process based on the core package of developed technology;
  3. Dramatically increased funding for both technology development and recruitment.

Minimal -- third (completed) phase

Main wikipage: CNM Cloud Minimal
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.

Usable -- fourth (current) phase

Main wikipage: CNMCyber Usable
Private clouds such as Dev Cloud, Production Cloud, and Control Cloud shall be primary deliverables of the fourth phase of the Project.

Marketable -- fifth (future) phase

At the fifth phase of the Project, the initial requirements, CNMCyber by Loredana C, shall be revised and tested on the completion. This phase is also reserved for any developments, especially federations, that haven't been accomplished in the previous phases.
