Looking back to an excellent EESSI CI/CD hackathon in Copenhagen, which we organized in the wake of the EuroHPC User Days 2025.

Enthusiastic group of attendees, both in-person and remote.

Already looking forward to doing this again (perhaps in the wake of EuroHPC Summit 2026 in Cyprus...)

When you’re in Copenhagen, do as the Danish do: go to a Disturbed concert to celebrate the 25th anniversary of their debut album.

Fire, sparks, huge inflatables, great live music, enthusiastic crowd…

Oh, and somehow pay more than 10 Euro for a single normal-sized beer (tasty though!)

Copenhagen, I like the way you name your beers. And it’s quite tasty too!

Felt like 16 again last night attending a local music festival, which featured The Servants, a local #Nirvana tribute band, who are eerily good if you ask me…

Feel a lot less like 16 today, more like 60 😂

Does anyone know if there are still computer nerds (or computer history musea) out there that are looking for ancient historical gems like this, a DEC Alpha 21164 system?
No idea if it still works.
If someone is interested, or if you know someone I can reach out to, let me know.

To celebrate the release of EasyBuild v5.0.0, I am giving away a *free EasyBuild coffee mug* to the first person at the EuroHPC Summit in Kraków this week who can show me hands-on that they have installed EasyBuild v5.0.0.

Send me a message in LinkedIn or the EasyBuild Slack if you want to meet up!

#FOSDEM is a place to learn about new open source software projects, have deeply technical discussions fuelled by beers, and get to know new people.

It’s also a place to meet up with friends you haven’t seen in a while, and they may bring gifts: beer, wine, cookies, chocolate, magnets, stickers…

Got to the AI Plumbers conference in Ghent just in time to catch talk on Tenstorrent hardware+ software by @fclc.bsky.social

I had high expectations, yet I’m totally blown away 🤯

Fantastic talk, which I will need to see several times again to really digest it all (was recorded).

Let's check the inbox damage after the FOSDEM '25 weekend.

Erm...

Post-#FOSDEM euphoria (and exhaustion) is kicking in…

I feel encouraged, inspired, supported, amazed.

What an event!

Current talk in the 10th #HPC, Big Data and Data Science at #FOSDEM25 is Henrik Nortamo (CSC.fi) on the EuroHPC Federation Platform, an ambitious project to develop a one-stop portal & associated services on EuroHPC JU (@eurohpc-ju.bsky.social) supercomputers.

We are accepting mini-donations for HPC.social in the 10th #HPC, Big Data, and Data Science devroom at #FOSDEM25.

I’ll pool these together and donate it all in one go right after FOSDEM, pinky swear!

You can also donate directly yourself, see github.com/sponsors/hpc...

Lmod is getting a shoutout during the talk on Environment Modules (@envmodules.bsky.social) at the 10th #HPC, Big Data, and Data Science.

There’s no rivalry between “competing” FOSS projects at #FOSDEM, only mutual respect and exchange of ideas!

Sticker love with an improvised sticker table at the entrance of the #HPC, Big Data, and Data Science devroom at #FOSDEM25.

Additions are welcome, we’ll be here all day…

Close to 100 people present for the first talk on in the 10th #HPC, Big Data, and Data Science devroom at #FOSDEM25.

Not bad on a Sunday morning at 9am after a Saturday evening fueled by Belgian beers resulting in an utter lack of sleep…

Come join us in UB5.132 (5th floor U building entrance B).

Something I can scratch off my bucket list: attend a metal concert in a tiny venue in Helsinki, featuring local and unknown but pretty good (and loud) bands.

It’s been a long time since I could sip beer from the bottle while gently headbanging along in approval at a live gig…

“Looking over the fence” today at Chips JU #EFECS2024 in Ghent

Interesting to hear @eurohpc-ju.bsky.social being used as example of how collaboration in EU can reinvigorate Europe’s competitiveness, and hope that Chips JU will have similar impact on semiconductor manufacturing in Europe
