This service provides hosting infrastructure for building official web sites and web applications based on content management system (CMS) and Content Management framework (CMF) called Drupal.
Drupal is used on many user facing web sites around CERN such as
-
Public facing sites such as, CERN Home, CERN Jobs, Visits, Press, Openlab, Giving, Voisins, S'Cool LAB,
-
Sites for CERN's organisation such as Admin E-guide, Knowledge Transfer, Procurement, CERN Library, IdeaSquare,
-
Experiment sites such as ATLAS, CMS, ALICE Matters newsletter, ALPHA, MoEDAL, CLIC,
- CERN Club sites such as Canoe-Kayak club, Running club, Photo club, Micro club
The Drupal activities at CERN are divided into two parts
- The IT service which runs the servers, databases, backups and monitoring. Problems with the infrastructure can be reported via the service desk.
- The user community ENTICE which gets together web masters to discuss common requirements with creating content such as modules for CERN specific applications. Questions can be asked to the community using the forums.
