I would like to certainly express my interest too.

Our plans are to move to SLURM by 2013 Q2 (work to be started by Q1) and
having a place to bi-directionally share experiences would be great.

Thanks,
BR/Pablo

We can always set up SLURM as a second scheduler with a dedicated CREAM initially for testing and then later can move it to production if it works etc. As torque and maui are configured to schedule jobs based on workernode load we could even run SLURM and PBS at the same time on same workernodes for a while. So definitely interested.
