Agenda

Previous meeting notes - 2020-11-25 HPC-AI Meeting Agenda/Minutes
LBI-46 - HPC SmartScale (HPC-AI) Project OPEN HPC SmartScale
Linux Distributions
- CentOS
  - The future of the CentOS Project is CentOS Stream, and over the next
    year we’ll be shifting focus from CentOS Linux, the rebuild of Red Hat
    Enterprise Linux (RHEL), to CentOS Stream, which tracks just ahead of a
    current RHEL release. CentOS Linux 8, as a rebuild of RHEL 8, will end
    at the end of 2021. CentOS Stream continues after that date, serving as
    the upstream (development) branch of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
