SUMMARY:Scaling a Community with over 1,000 Contributors: Bringing Scienti
 sts Together with Spack
DESCRIPTION:Minisymposium\n\nHarmen Stoppels (Stoppels Consulting)\n\nThe 
 Spack package manager centralizes the community knowledge of scientific so
 ftware installations. Where traditionally cluster sysadmins maintain their
  own repository of deployment scripts, and developers use their own toolin
 g for local installations, Spack maintains a single, portable package repo
 sitory that is flexible enough to target any system, from notebook to supe
 rcomputer. It bridges the gap between developers and sysadmins, and encour
 ages collaboration across centers. Getting here is not without its challen
 ges, whether technical or social. To meet the demands of diverse user grou
 ps and guarantee strong performance, software builds should be sufficientl
 y customizable. At the same time, customizability should not translate int
 o overwhelming complexity for the user. Another challenge is growing a str
 ong contributor base to maintain packages, even when people come and go. A
 nd as the contributor base grows, there are new scaling issue to be addres
 sed: testing a few hundred packages is feasible, but how about 7'000? In t
 his talk we discuss these challenges and the lessons learned.\n\nDomain: C
