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 ;-)
Thanks for the information Bernd, I'll try and be there. Will there be a
series of talks, or how will that work?
It seems like there's also a BoF session on OpenHPC on Thursday,
although the description doesn't mention 'OpenHPC', see
http://sc15.supercomputing.org/schedule/event_detail?evid=bof197 .

P.S. as LLNL is also involved, there might be some discussions spack
vs. Easybuild in OpenHPC in the future ;-)
Discussions are already going on, as I was told by Todd.
Maybe there's no need for a 'vs', in my view both EasyBuild & Spack can
live together in OpenHPC...
We've been discussing options for collaborating with Spack with Todd
during the EasyBuild hackathon @TACC last week, and it seems like we
will be able to work on certain things together (without killing either
project, since the goals are somewhat different).
regards,
Kenneth

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?).

Hi all,
As a few of you know, I'm at SC this week. 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.
Tim
