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! Latest from the AlmaLinux BlogSCaLE 21x, CloudFest, and AlmaLinux Day: Germany!
