[slurm-users] Slurm notifications, a more comprehensive solution - goslmailer

[Tomás Di Domenico]

Hello everyone.

For those interested, we've just added a Matrix connector to goslmailer, 
which allows slurm to send messages to Matrix rooms. The README file of 
the project [1] has details on functionality and features.

If you do use it, we'd love to hear your feedback!

Best,
Tomás
