We are using a number of services to communicate and share files:
- Github: Code sharing, organization and deliverables tracking
- groups.io: mailing lists
- Google Drive Teams: file sharing
- Slack: Group chat, forum and instant private messaging
To begin onboarding, you should fill out this form. In order to access the form you will need to have been onboarded and login to the CFDE Website where you will find the Onboarding Form under CFDE Members Home.
Within 2 business days of submitting the onboarding form, you will receive
- an invitation to join the cfdeworkspace on Slack
- an invitation to join nih-cfde on GitHub
You must accept both invitations
You will also receive a number of confirmation emails for our mailing lists and google drive.
If you did not receive these emails, please check your spam folder.
You can see the status of your onboarding progress by finding your name in the Onboarding Responses Google Sheet.
If you cannot find your GitHub invitation, follow this link to accept on the web: https://github.com/nih-cfde
For help configuring your GitHub notifications and other settings see the GitHub section of Communication Management
For help with how to interact with GitHub,(e.g. how to submit a pull request), see the gitHub usage help page
You may need to add [email protected] to your safe sender list in your email client’s contacts to reliably receive mailing list emails.
For help configuring your groups.io mailing frequency and other settings see the groups.io sections of Communication Management
You must be logged into Google Drive using the email you specified in your onboarding form. You will have access to two different CFDE drives.
- CFDE Admin: Everyone has view access to this drive. It contains files related to maintaining the CFDE infrastructure and files that need to be locked from direct editing such as the contact list created by the onboarding form
- CFDE Everyone: Everyone has edit access to this drive. It contains the bulk of CFDE files and is the main place for collaboration
On the left side of the screen, you should see a button for Team Drives:
You may need to click on the small arrow to see the list of drives you have access to:
