CNMCyber Office Hours (hereinafter, the Series) is the series of CNMCyber events in which members of CNMCyber Team (hereinafter, the Members) formally interview each other in order to document data, evaluations, ideas, information, opinions, reports, and/or requirements (hereinafter, the Matters) related to CNMCyber generally, as well as CNMCyber practice and CNMCyber products particularly.

One CNMCyber office hour (hereinafter, the Event) refers to a single event of the Series. Because of its #Distinctive features, any of the Events needs to be uniquely initiated, formalized, and closed. Thus, work on the Event exceeds just its organizing. The Event's #Sprint initiation, #Formalization, #Organization or the Event itself, and the Event's #Sprint closing, together, compose a complete sprint (hereinafter, the Sprint).

Participants

Mandatory

The mandatory participants of the Event are:

Those Members who seek for the Matters (hereinafter, the Interviewers). They can participate in the Event live, directly or by correspondence through their questions. When the Interviewer participate in absentia, the Host asks their questions on their behalf.
Those Members who hold or are able to generate the Matters (hereinafter, the Interviewees) that the Interviewers seek.
Those who host of the Event (hereinafter, the Hosts). The Hosts are responsible for satisfying of all of the requirements described on the CNMCyber event wikipage. The Interviewees are responsible for appointing the Hosts after receiving the #Authorization.

The Hosts and Interviewees always participate in the Series live, directly, and not in absentia. The Interviewee may choose to assume the Host role.

Optional

The optional participants of the Event can be:

Those Members who are interested in the Matters; they can join either CNM Talk discussion or CNM Tube streaming by their choice.
Anyone else. As any other CNMCyber event, the Event is open to the general public to join the Event as guests. They shall have opportunities to ask questions and provide the speakers with their comments via chat of the Event's stream.

Distinctive features

#Authorization, #Scheduling, and #Transcription distinguish the Series from other CNMCyber events.

Authorization

Uniquely between CNMCyber events, the Series shares features with both learning seminars and team meetings. Unlike most of other events such as CNMCyber This Week and CNMCyber Welcome, each of the Events needs to be authorized separately. The Interviewees are responsible for obtaining authorization from CNMCyber Customer (hereinafter, the Customer) before appointing the Hosts.

Upon receiving the request to authorize, the Customer may (a) approve the request, (b) decline the request, while providing the Interviewee with the reason, or (c) request changes. While authorizing, the Customer looks for evidence that the Interviewer attempted to find the Matters without the Event.

Scheduling

The Interviewees schedule the Event per request of the Interviewer. The Members are encouraged to indicate their availability on their CNMCyber.com profiles, so the Interviewer should try to find right spots.

When the Interviewer requests the Interviewee to respond to the questions, the Interviewer indicates his or her preferred timing of the Event, if any. The Interviewee chooses to answer those questions with or without the Interviewer.

Transcription

CNMCyber transcripts are primary deliverables from the Events.

Use cases

Developed product

Product-to-be-developed

Before Sonya coordinated hiring contractors to fix issues of CNM Talk, she interviewed Natalia to describe the issues.

Work requirements

When Rita was taking over meetings of CNM Technology Board, she interviewed Kevin and Gary to understand what was expected from her.

Work-related knowledge

Incumbents of CNMCyber practice need bodies of work-related knowledge in order to be successful in their jobs, whether running ongoing operations or undertaking projects. In spring of 2023, a number of people were hired to start working as CNM Website Developers. They were offered to attend learning sessions that one day were supposed to become Website Developer Bootcamp.

Because of a number of participants, those learning sessions were pretty ambiguous and not too productive. To make them more focused, the Series was developed.

Marketing matters

Event agendas

Agendas of the Event include:

Welcome greeting, introduction, recording and follow-up publication disclaimer.
The Interviewer's and/or, if any, Host's questions and the Interviewee's answers.
If any, other participants' questions and the Interviewee's answers.
Closing comments and announcements.

By default, the agendas are not included in event descriptions and available on request only.

Event announcements

Event titles

Event titles shall depend on the Event's #Use cases:

For any #Developed product, the Event's title shall include the words, State of, and the name of the product such as State of CNM Jitsi.
For any #Product-to-be-developed, the Event's title shall include the name of the product and the word, requirements, such as CNM Jitsi requirements.
For both #Work requirements and #Work-related knowledge, event's title shall include the project and/or operational work area such as Work on DNS.

The Interviewee defines whether to include his or her name in the title such as Work on DNS with Gary Ihar and crafts the title itself while requesting the Customer's authorization.

-==Security==
+===Formalization===
-: For security, we use Fail2ban because it operates by monitoring log files (e.g. /var/log/auth.log, /var/log/apache/access.log, etc.) for selected entries and running scripts based on them. Most commonly this is used to block selected IP addresses that may belong to hosts that are trying to breach the system's security. It can ban any host IP address that makes too many login attempts or performs any other unwanted action within a time frame defined by the administrator. Includes support for both IPv4 and IPv6.
+: To formalize the ''Event'', the ''Interviewee'' shall:
-: Calls use the P2P mode, which is end-to-end encrypted via DTLS-SRTP between the two participants for encrypted communication (secure communication). Group calls also use DTLS-SRTP encryption, but rely on the Jitsi Videobridge (JVB) as video router, where packets are decrypted temporarily. All data is transmitted only through our server, and comprehensive TLS encryption provides protection against interception and unauthorized eavesdropping.
