Collaboration and planning

Collaboration and planning¶

Documentation creation and management¶

Collaborative online digital services are offered by CNRS, Ecole Polytechnique, RENATER and the French government.

CNRS - sDrive¶

• The CNRS sDrive is a tool for synchronizing and sharing professional office data¹. It replaces tools such as OneDrive² and Dropbox².
• Your personal space can be accessed via a web browser (on workstations, smartphones or tablets), or by synchronizing your data using synchronization software installed on your workstation (Nextcloud).
• Your personal space has a storage quota limited to 100 GB. Quota increases are not granted.
• Your space provides a recycle garbage can that you can access from a web browser. Data in this recycle garbage can is deleted when it is more than 30 days old, or when your quota reaches saturation.
• Your delegation can provide you with shared folders, whose quota is not the same as your personal account quota.
• Your data is :
  • located in a CNRS datacenter in France,
  • scanned for viruses,
  • backed up weekly.

To access to Resana, you must have a CNRS Janus ID.

You can find user documentation here

RESANA¶

• Resana is an easy-to-use collaborative platform for sharing and co-editing documents.
• Resana is approved under the General Security Reference System (RGS) and hosted on an ANSSI-qualified SecNumCloud cloud.

• Resana is open to all employees of the French State and its public establishments (CNRS, École polytechnique, etc.). They can invite their internal and external collaborators and partners to their workspaces.

• Main functionalities :

  • File storage and sharing (up to 2 GB per file)
  • Import of file trees
  • Online co-editing of text documents, spreadsheets and presentations (OnlyOffice and Collabora)
  • Task (Kanban) and project (Gantt) planning
  • Shared calendar
  • Integrated instant messaging
  • Online voting and surveys
  • Content publishing (text, photo, video, etc.)

To access to Resana, you must have a CNRS JANUS ID.

Notepad de l'État¶

Notepad de l'État is an online collaborative tool that lets you write notes or slides alone or with others, in Markdown format. You can render LaTeX mathematical expressions using MathJax, as on math.stackexchange.com.

The documents you can create on this server are confidential by default.

To access these confidential pads, you can log in with your CNRS JANUS ID.

You can make a pad publicly viewable by clicking on the button that initially says LIMITED (top right of your text). If you choose Editable it will be visible to anyone you give the link to, but editable only by other state agents. If you choose Freely it will be editable by anyone (provided they have the link). In both cases, make sure that the document does not contain any personal or confidential information.

Scheduling¶

Evento (events scheduling)¶

Evento is an event planning and organization service based on the Moment open-source software, and developed by RENATER.

It replaces tools such as Doodle².

To access to Evento, you must have a School ID or CNRS Janus ID.

Software Development¶

Gitlab¶

Gitlab is a collaborative service for managing code and software development projects, based on the Git source management software and inspired by Github.

It incorporates the classic tools of a software forge (request tracking, wiki) as well as a number of Git-specific features :

• push protection for certain branches
• repository cloning and merge requests,
• integrated display of Markdown files (in particular README.md),
• continuous integration system

IDCS recommends the use of 2 GITLAB forges operated by CNRS, depending on the affiliation of the partner laboratory :

Service / Features	Gitlab MATHRICE	Gitlab IN2P3
Affiliation Laboratory	CNRS Mathematics	CNRS Physics and others
External collaboration	Yes	Yes
Authentication	eduGain SS0	eduGAIN SSO
