I'd like to draw your attention to the FOSDEM conference happening
this weekend, and especially the HPC, Big Data and Data Science track:
On Sunday afternoon (Feb 6th, 17:30-18:00 CET) there will be a
Developer Room dedicated to build tooling in HEP (with some input on
Spack and CVMFS). This is geared towards a general technical audience,
but if you can spare the time on a sunday it might
be a good opportunity for a discussion with experts outside of our
field.
Best,
Valentin, for the HSF packaging WG
