AlmaLinux HPC and AI SIG Proposal
We have a new SIG in the works! Hayden Barnes (HPE), Peter Grossoehme
(MEGWARE), Markus Hilger (MEGWARE), and other AlmaLinux community members
are working on an HPC and AI SIG. The goals of the SIG are to promote the
benefits of AlmaLinux for HPC and AI, provide guidance and support for
AlmaLinux users in HPC and AI, and represent the interests and needs of the
HPC and AI community within AlmaLinux.
You can check out the proposal here
<https://github.com/AlmaLinux/wiki/pull/370/files> that will be reviewed at
the next AlmaLinux board meeting, and we welcome any feedback. If you are
using using AlmaLinux in HPC or for AI solutions we would love to hear from
you!
