just to add one thing to Kenneth's answer. even if your PRs are not merged, they can still be very useful to the community: - others can still install the easyconfigs (and easyblocks) in your PRs with `eb --from-pr` (and `eb --include-easyblocks-from-pr`). - they can serve as a great starting points for updated easyconfigs. - you might get useful suggestions from others to improve the installation recipe. so please don't stop opening PRs! we're always happy with more contributions, even if they don't actually end up being merged. cheers, Sam On Wed, Jun 18, 2025 at 8:51 PM Kenneth Hoste <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Roberto, > > On 18/06/2025 15:41, Roberto Scipioni wrote: > > Hi guys, > > > > Thanks. > > Regarding the Sprint session May I ask what the criteria were for > > merging and closing ?
