With over 20.000 build configs, corresponding build blocks and a whole framework around it, EasyBuild is a large project and contributing can feel intimidating at first. But it does not have to be!In this talk, I will talk about my journey starting to contribute to EasyBuild. I show my personal use case, my motivation to contribute both upstream and at JSC, and my experiences in doing so. I share features I appreciated, how I accidentally broke EasyBuild twice and mention issues I ran into during development.At the end I will open the discussion regarding improvements for users and developers and share things I would like to see in EasyBuild in the future. 001041430 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF4-5112$$a5112 - Cross-Domain Algorithms, Tools, Methods Labs (ATMLs) and Research Groups (POF4-511)$$cPOF4-511$$fPOF IV$$x0 001041430 536__ $$0G:(BMBF)16ME0630$$aBMBF 16ME0630 - ENSIMA - Energieoptimiertes High-Performance Computing für Finite-Elemente-Simulationen in der Produktentwicklung (16ME0630)$$c16ME0630$$x1 001041430 536__ $$0G:(DE-Juel-1)ATMLPP$$aATMLPP - ATML Parallel Performance (ATMLPP)$$cATMLPP$$x2 001041430 8564_ $$uhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdMQd7vtHuI 001041430 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/1041430/files/006_eum25_EasyBuild-contributor.pdf$$yOpenAccess 001041430 909CO $$ooai:juser.fz-juelich.de:1041430$$popenaire$$popen_access$$pVDB$$pdriver 001041430 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)167509$$aForschungszentrum Jülich$$b0$$kFZJ 001041430 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF4-511$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF4-510$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF4-500$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF4$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$9G:(DE-HGF)POF4-5112$$aDE-HGF$$bKey Technologies$$lEngineering Digital Futures – Supercomputing, Data Management and Information Security for Knowledge and Action$$vEnabling Computational- & Data-Intensive Science and Engineering$$x0 001041430 9141_ $$y2025 001041430 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0510$$2StatID$$aOpenAccess 001041430 920__ $$lyes 001041430 9201_ $$0I:(DE-Juel1)JSC-20090406$$kJSC$$lJülich Supercomputing Center$$x0 001041430 980__ $$atalk 001041430 980__ $$aVDB 001041430 980__ $$aUNRESTRICTED 001041430 980__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)JSC-20090406 001041430 9801_ $$aFullTexts
