There is an "official" kickoff event on the intel booth wednesday, 16:15 to 18:00. It is hard to say whom you should talk to because there are research and product groups from intel involved on it. (And I have not yet met the Linux foundation guys who manage it now). The main research guy from Intel behind it is Bob Wischneski -- when I met with him at ISC this summer, I talked to him about EasyBuild for 45min -- good to see that all that time was not wasted ;-)
Bernd P.S. as LLNL is also involved, there might be some discussions spack vs. Easybuild in OpenHPC in the future ;-) On Nov 15, 2015 11:13, Kenneth Hoste <[email protected]> wrote: Hi all, On 15/11/15 16:35, Mohr, Bernd wrote: OpenHPC just formed. The first public announcement was past Thursday. Yep, it's very new, so don't worry if you weren't aware. :-) There will be many discussions the coming months how to jumpstart the collaboration and to organize the collaboration. Juelich (and TACC) is OpenHPC member from the start and we will push EasyBuild and Lmod! They include both EasyBuild and Lmod as packages already, so they seem to know what they're doing. ;-) I was not aware of EasyBuild being included until someone pointed it out to me on Twitter. I've reached out to them to see if there's anything we can do to help, and they have some ideas to go far beyond just including EasyBuild as a package, see https://github.com/openhpc/ohpc/issues/67 . I'm certainly going to try and help out keeping the EasyBuild package up to date. This may turn out to be big, and I'm happy we're involved from the very start. I'll try and get a hold of the people involved here at SC15 (Bernd: do you know who to talk to?). K.

I just heard about OpenHPC (I think I might have been living under a rock...). http://www.openhpc.community At first glance it looks a like like TACC's rpm/spec files. There is no where near as many packages as Easy Build. Might be interesting to watch and/or collaborate with.
