CNM Lab

CNM Labs (hereinafter, the Labs) is the combination of private project management system, collaborative knowledge system, version control system, and digital storage of the Career Network Ministry (CNM). The Labs is the service of CNM Digital that allows for secure storage, versioning, and development of digital assets such as images, videos, documents, and software products.

The CNM Digital Team designs and the Friends Of CNM delivers the Labs to its users at absolutely no cost. This service is not available to the general public; only those users who have obtained the CertAssociate role can access it.

Purposes

The Labs are designed to accommodate several purposes:

Category	Corporate services (CNM Cloud)	Personal services (CNM patrons' uses)
Digital asset development	The primary purpose of the Labs is to accommodate the private development of CNM Cloud, which is the technology behind CNM Digital. This technology is divided in several parts and development of each part occurs under a separate contract. The contracts are commonly awarded to external vendors. The Labs grants each part a separate "space". When its development contract is awarded, its vendor gets access to this "space", which includes tasks, reports, documents, and file hosting.	The CNM patrons may possibly use the Labs in order to develop their own assets, but this function needs to be better defined.
Digital asset depository	All source codes, images, video files	Open-source assets such as office suites, integrated development environments, etc. are expected to be available for downloads without limitations; Proprietary assets such as Jira software are expected to be available based on the terms of agreements with their owners and specific policies of the CNM Digital Team designed to implement those agreements.
