Introduction and Scientific Computing Workstream for the EWG

Hey Morning All -

My name is Kyle Taylor. I'm a software engineer working in precision
agriculture in Colorado (US). I work on microservices design and machine
learning and drone / satellite imagery analysis for companies out of St.
Louis and Kansas City. I'm a FreeBSD user (and advocate) and I'm new to the
enterprise working group. Looking to help out where I can.

I reviewed the notes from the last call and think there are several
workstreams you all are pursuing that are spot-on and align with work in
enterprise scientific computing: OCI support (podman); Bhyve management and
orchestration; FreeBSD CUDA/OpenCL support, in particular. Might pro-offer
better coverage in ports for Python 3.11/3.12 (or native anaconda) and
statistics software for stan/pytorch/xgboost/catboost as well.

Anyway, I appreciate the work folks are doing for enterprise compute. I
plan on attending the calls for the EWG where I can. If there are other
folks here pursuing work with FreeBSD for scientific computing, I'd be
interested in giving some time to pursuing this as its own workstream under
the EWG.

Thanks - Kyle
