EESSI is an initiative built on the foundations of the EasyBuild community, which is used by well over 100 HPC sites worldwide
(incl. JSC, CSCS, the Digital Research Alliance of Canada, LUMI, \ldots), and goes one step further by providing a
truly uniform software stack. It already has a wide spectrum of collaborators despite being a relatively young project.
