📢 First Modules Project Technical Steering Committee (TSC) meeting — Feb 18, 5:00 PM CET. Open to everyone! We’ll discuss the roadmap for version 5.7.

Details 👉 https://github.com/envmodules/modules/wiki

🎉 Big news! We’re excited to welcome Adrien Cotte within the maintainer team of Modules. Adrien works at AS+ as HPC Project Manager. Thank you for stepping up and helping move the project forward—welcome aboard! 🚀
New config option for next feature release (5.7): "path_entry_reorder". When enabled, "prepend-path", "append-path", and "module use" will reorder existing entries instead of leaving them untouched.

This track is not limited to the Modules project — talks about Lmod or any other module implementation are very welcome. If your work touches environment modules and you think others can learn from it, we’d love to hear from you!

See you in Chicago this March!
