Sustainable development

Business Model

How is Slurm-web development financed?

Slurm-web is a free software (GPLv3) without licence fee. Rackslab strongly believes in this model in which everyone can use Slurm-web regardless of their situation. However, Slurm-web development cannot happen without funding from some organizations. This is truly essential to make this software project sustainable and durable.

If your team wishes new features in Slurm-web (either listed in backlog below or any other of your choice), your organization can order its development to Rackslab. You will have the opportunity to take part of its specifications to match your needs. This will also secure its integration and delivery in the next major release.
