With the Slurm 25.11 release out, and the 1.0.0rc1 for the Slinky
Project done, we're quickly shifting into conference season.
SchedMD staff are presenting at KubeCon North America on Slinky [1] this
week. We don't have a booth here, but feel free to say hi if you see any
of us, or send me a message on the Kubernetes or CNCF Slack channels
(@wickberg) if you have something you'd like to discuss in person.
Next week we'll be manning the Slurm Booth at SC25 [2], as well as
hosting the annual Slurm Community Birds-of-a-Feather session [3] on
Thursday from 12:15-1:15pm.
For this year we wanted to to make the Slurm Community BoF survey
available ahead of time, and to open it to a wider audience. This'll let
us prepare some initial results ahead of the BoF (while still trying to
update live data during the BoF), and the results from this are
invaluable as we plan for future Slurm releases.
The survey is available now: https://schedmd.com/survey
For those not at SC25, we'll have a brief set of highlights from this
survey included in the Slurm 25.11 release overview video on our YouTube
channel in December.
