AB  - EasyBuild is a software build and installation framework, widely used on HPC systems and clusters to manage software installations. 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.
