OpenHPC is more than just an open source project. It's a career builder for thousands of IT professionals around the globe who now know how to build super computers. And that's quite a trick. #ai#hpc#scientificcomputing#opensource#supercompputer#supercomputingyoutu.be/dSFhHjHOaRk
A common half-joke/truth is "the world of #supercomputing advances one retirement at a time".
But there's a necessary counterpart: "supercomputing advances one fresh emerging visionary at a time".
How do you help ensure our #HPC community is fertile & welcoming for the latter?
