[Beowulf] EasyBuild User Meeting EUM26 and EESSI

[Jörg Saßmannshausen]

Dear all,

it gives me great pleasure to announce just after Easter the upcoming 
EasyBuild User Meeting (EUM26) which will happen in Guimarães/Portugal 
between the 21.4. to 23.4. This is a hybrid meeting, and the on-site 
registration is already full. However, thanks to Zoom, it is still 
possible to register for a remote attendance here:
https://easybuild.io/eum26

Registration is required if you want to actively participate and want to 
ask questions. I am aware that there might be a huge time difference 
between your location and the conference time zone. However, like 
always, the talks will also be available on YouTube later, but then you 
will not be able to ask questions of course.

Also, there are quite some webinars around EESSI, the European 
Environment for Scientific Software Installation, in April and May:
https://www.eessi.io/docs/training-events/2026/webinar-series-2026Q2/

Again, to actively participate you will need to register.

EESSI is a way to use pre-build high performant software, which is made 
available via CernVM-FS, so there is no need to build the same software 
over and over again. Furthermore, you can build on top of it which means 
quite some of the already existing high performant libraries for your 
CPU architecture might be already available. Have look at that in more 
detail at their website, or sign up for the webinars which are promising 
to be good.

All the best from a sunny London!

Jörg
