TECH BRIEFING: Stanford WebAFS, Collaboration Tools Installer, and Scheduling Service

Come learn about WebAFS, the newly-released web-based interface to AFS. This new tool allows you to access your files in AFS space from anywhere using just a web browser.

We'll go over the interface as well as possibilities available for managing and sharing your files with your colleagues at Stanford. We will also cover the Collaboration Tools Installer, which lets you install three popular open source web applications (Drupal, MediaWiki, and WordPress) in your departmental or group web space. We'll go through the installation process and give you pointers on where to get help and information.

Finally, there will be a sneak preview of the upcoming Scheduling Service, a new service that will allow you to execute UNIX commands and scripts at regular intervals.
