There've been some requests recently regarding an IRC channel dedicated to SLURM questions, related discussions, etc. for the SLURM community. With the help of the staff and administrators of Freenode (the de facto standard IRC network for FOSS projects and communities), we have now registered #slurm on irc.freenode.net on behalf of SchedMD and the SLURM community!
If you have an interest in having an IRC channel dedicated to SLURM and related scheduling/hyperscale/HPC topics, please join us. There is additional effort involved in making the registration of the project & channel official and permanent, so whether or not we keep the channel around long-term will depend on how many people are interested (as demonstrated by how many people show up and hang out, primarily). :-) All SLURM questions, comments, discussions, or bug reports are on-topic for #slurm. Basically anything that's acceptable for the slurm-dev mailing list is also acceptable for the channel. Additionally, any discussions related to scheduling, resource management, exascale/hyperscale challenges & solutions, and general HPC are also on-topic so long as they don't interfere with SLURM Q&A. So please join us, and let us know what you think! Any/all feedback (questions, comments, suggestions, gripes, whatever) is welcome. And we want to extend a special invitation to all SLURM contributors and experienced users who can help answer questions and address user concerns/feedback! :-) Thanks!
