Infrastructure & Coordination
Set up project infrastructure to support FreeBSD HPC development, including GitLab for source hosting, issues, and merge requests.
Established category separation between blog posts and reports for clearer communication.
Upstream Work
First patch merged upstream into Slurm, addressing
sa_lenhandling on BSD platforms.Promising cooperation emerging with SchedMD developers, opening the door to further *BSD support.
Next Steps
Expand CI integration to automate ports testing.
Continue discussions with upstream on BSD compatibility improvements.
- Update sysutils/slurm-wlm to the latest release.
- Further expand FreeBSD’s HPC ports stack.
- Push ready ports to be committed.
I have a history of developing software and working with FreeBSD in private projects of mine. I mainly program in C, or C++ but am also familiar with developing in C#, python, java, php x mysql webapps and of course shell scripts. I maintain multiple virtual servers on a few physical servers, some of them run FreeBSD, some Linux. I started getting into the development of FreeBSD ports in summer 2025, by submitting multiple commits to the sysutils/slurm-wlm port, to ultimately gain Maintainership over it. I am now actively maintaining that port and am trying to get more involved into the FreeBSD project, since i have always been fascinated about the system.
