What Are We Doing at SCaLE 20x?

Be sure to stop by CIQ booth #418 to learn about our innovative and stable software infrastructure solutions. We’ll be on hand to answer any questions you may have about the next generation High Performance Computing stack: Rocky Linux, Warewulf, Apptainer, and Fuzzball.

One Talk You Won’t Want to Miss

Be sure to make time during the conference to attend Heather Meeker’s talk, titled RESF: An Approach to Stable Community Driven Open Source Stewardship, held Saturday, March 11 from 11:30-12:30 in Ballroom F.

In her talk, Heather will walk participants through the evolution of what drove the creation of Rocky Linux, as well as the factors that have driven its success in replacing CentOS. She will share details about the innovative Public Benefits Corp (PBC) model for the Rocky Enterprise Software Foundation, the goal of which is to ensure that the future of the project can never be held hostage by a corporate agenda. Come prepared to challenge and be challenged, with old assumptions about open source project management on the table.

See you there! If you can’t make it, you can still reach out to us to learn more about how CIQ adds value on top of Rocky Linux, Apptainer, and other key open source technologies in the form of escalation support, customization, optimization, integration, and professional services.
