Title: DEGREE IST 2005 034619 KickOff meeting Paris 2627 July 2006 1
1- WP 5
- DISSEMINATION, COMMUNICATION COLLABORATION
- Coordinator (Monique Petitdidier, CNRS/IPSL)
- Deputy (Dominique Thomas, CGG)
2WP5 Objectives
- the dissemination and communication to internal
and external audiences, and collaboration with
other Grid projects via collaboration tasks and
directly with other Grid projects. - Dissemination All partners will contribute to
WP5 by disseminating results and visions in
various events like scientific and technical
conferences and workshops and by producing high
quality dissemination and communication material
for scientific, technical and public in general
audiences. - Communication among the partners and towards the
scientific and industrial communities in general - Collaboration liaison and co-operation
activities with other IST projects EU initiative
3WP5 Challenges
- To use dissemination and collaboration to make
a bridge between the ES and Grid communities - To find the right strategy to convince ES
communities to use Grid infrastructure - To convince grid developers of the importance of
ES requirements
4WP5 Tasks
- Task 5.1Set-up web space, forum and information
server (PM1-24) - Task 5.2 Strategy and Planning to contact ES and
Grid communities (PM4-24) - D5.1 Dissemination Strategy (PM6, 12, 18)
- Task 5.3 Material for oral and poster
presentation (PM7-24) - For dissemination, communication and
collaboration - Task 5.4 Organisation of workshop at
CRS4(PM13-18) - Task 5.5 Horizontal collaboration (PM1-24)
- We would like to emphasise again that
concertation / collaboration is not an activity
solely for project co-ordinators, but needs to be
supported by Grid researchers and developers,
i.e. by all the partners that are developing the
corresponding work. V. Obozinsky

12Web site
- Prototype developed by GCRAS
- http//devel.wdcb.ru85
- The web site has 3 different roles
- internal collaboration (documents, status of the
WP, information, forum...) - external collaboration connection with other
Grid and ES projects - communication not so large that public in
general however devoted to scientific public in
general
13DEGREE web site
- DEGREE web site is based on Plone. Plone is an
open-source content management system built on
top of the Python application server Zope and its
accompanying Zone Content Management Framework. - Compared with KnowledgeTree and Twiki, Plone
seems to be the best fit for the project web
site. Difference is that KnowledgeTree has many
possibilities to manage files, but has almost no
applications for user communication. Plone is
more interesting when Twiki, it has many add-ons
such as forums, calendars etc. Plone is easy to
use not only for managers of web site, but also
for users, who doesnt know how to write in HTML
format. - The site can be edited online or on the server.
New products such as forum, new skin, etc can be
added only from server. There are three types of
users anonymous who can just view the site,
members who can add comments and propose
content, and managers - who can change the site
content, edit pages and manage users roles.
14Site view for anonymous users
Home page of the DEGREE web site rendered for
anonymous user
15Logging in
This is how site looks after you clicked on log
in. You should enter your username and
password. Every member of this site has a page
called My Folder. It's the default place where
you add new content. Think of it like your "My
Documents" folder in Windows.
16Changing a password
After you logged in, you should change your
password, if you have received it by e-mail. You
go to Preferences and then Change Password.
17Registration page
If you havent registered yet, you should fill
Registration Form. Click Join and you will get
it. People who fill that form are members
automatically. We could change the way of
registration now everyone are members after
filling this form, we could send registration
password on the e-mail after filling this form,
and people will be members only after checking
their e-mail. Suggestions?
18Different views of the Home page
This is the way Home page looks like for managers
(top) and anonymous (bottom). The difference
managers can edit it from the Edit tab. They also
can add some items like files, images, etc.
19Editing the Home page
This is the on-line web page editor. It is common
for all pages. You could edit in HTML format or
just plain text.
20News and Events pages
Every member could create news or events items.
But it will be shown here only after it was
checked and published by manager.
21Partners and Publications
Partners page (top) contains logos and web links
of the DEGREE project partners
Publication page contains two types of folders
visible for managers, anonymous and members and
visible for managers only.
22Collaboration page
This is the draft page, we plan to write here
about all external projects which are relative to
DEGREE project and put here links to there
homepages. Suggestions?
23Conclusions
- Now we need to think about content of Home page,
Collaboration and may be Partners page. Home page
is based on the information from the Fact Sheet
document, Collaboration page on the Technical
Annex. - Plone is a complex (but easy-to-use and to
extend) system which demands quite a lot from the
server. It's more like an operating system than
an application, to use an analogy. We should have
at least 512MB RAM and a 1GHz processor for not
very painful Plone usage when we start getting
traffic. - To move the site from one server to another (for
instance from a local Windows-based laptop to a
centrally hosted Linux server), we can simply
move the data.fs file - as long as the Plone
versions are the same. - Indico for meeting and phone conference?
