Trilinos Area Leads
In the Trilinos project, Area Leads play a vital role in overseeing specific areas or components of the software framework. They are responsible for coordinating the needs and requirements of stakeholders, facilitating requests, and managing inter-package interactions. By actively engaging with the community, Area Leads gather valuable feedback to ensure that the packages effectively meet user needs.
Additionally, they are instrumental in creating and maintaining comprehensive documentation for their packages, as well as providing essential support to users. With significant expertise in their respective fields, Area Leads contribute to the strategic direction of the Trilinos project. Their efforts are crucial for the ongoing development, maintenance, and enhancement of Trilinos packages, ensuring that the software remains both relevant and of high quality.
The Trilinos packages are organized into three main areas: Core, Solvers, and Discretization and Analysis. Additionally, the DevSecOps team handles the Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) processes for Trilinos.
