YOU can help lead the OCP Community!
The OCP Community is an ever evolving, innovating and thriving community. However, we now have special circumstances requiring a special election. In this case, our HPC Community requires your help. Both our project leads have left their current companies and moved on to do amazing things at their new companies. Given their new ventures are taking them in a different direction, they have opted to step down from their leadership roles. This group is now in need of a new Project Lead(s).
Special Circumstances
If an OCP project lead resigns from their position prior to the end of the term or if they can no longer fulfill their duties then the OCP project community will vote on the interim project lead. Manoj Roge and Devashish Paul have announced their resignations as the HPC project co-leads. We appreciate all their hard work and dedication to not only the OCP HPC project, but to the Foundation as well.
