You can find links to all of these project and further information on the https://hpc.social<https://hpc.social/> web site. We hope to be working more closely with other projects and are open to sponsorships or partnerships with HPC-oriented community projects, centers, and funding agency projects in all regions. It is the open global nature of this effort that has attracted the interest of OGF in helping to sponsor this set of services. Join in on the discussions also on GitHub at https://github.com/hpc-social/hpc-social.github.io/discussions or on any of the social instances above to contribute your ideas on these or other services. All ideas including ways to interconnect these efforts with projects from other services are welcome. If you have not had a chance yet to go through the new environment for creating documents and for working with OGF through our GitHub-based repositories, please check out the links on the OGF web site at https://ogf.org to the OGF community pages at https://github.com/opengridforum and the archives of past organizational pages linked there. There are links to the previous Dokuwiki, Redmine, and GridForge content available there for your convenience and for linking or reference to past work, as well as to current and past mailing lists and archives. We hope you will make use of the new GitHub organizational pages, mailing lists, and the other resources mentioned above to remain in communication with each other and to facilitate new work. Hope to see you on one of the resources listed! Please let us know if there are other things we can do to facilitate your work.
