Gotta go fast: how we started the Ubuntu High-Performance Computing team
summary
A community forms after the 2022 Ubuntu Summit to stop duplicating work and build a reusable open source HPC stack called Charmed HPC; teams combine Slurm charm code, Juju lifecycle ops and packaging for scientific apps, coordinate by Jitsi and Matrix weekly calls, and store notes in HackMD. Progress so far: official Ubuntu community team, ongoing public 30‑minute weekly meetings, shared CI/tests via partner clouds, and a roadmap toward an alpha, docs site, onboarding flow and education content.
