Re: Community Linux Working Group as apart of the Open Mainframe Project

[Sarah Julia Kriesch]

Hi Rick,

I do not speak about mailining list support. I speak about better support from IBM or in
general.
That should also ensure us to keep our architecture s390x for our community distributions
up and maintained for the next years.
In my experience, we have to wait really long for bugfixes from IBM at the moment.
The mailing list at Marist College (via LISTSERV there) is more a mailing list for user
support.

Here is the former TAC issue for the Debian Working Group as an example:
https://github.com/openmainframeproject/tac/issues/222 

We can put our ideas together and what we want to have improved for a better development
for s390x.

Best regards,
Sarah

Betreff: Re: Community Linux Working Group as apart of the Open Mainframe Project

Hi, Sarah, --
 
I don't fully understand the requirement, but the LINUX390 discussion list hosted at
Marist College (via LISTSERV there) is the primary community reference for mainframe
Linux, including Red Hat, SUSE, and Debian variants. All of the major distributions have
representation in that email discussion list.
 
All of the major distributions have a reliable installation package for "System
Z" (formerly "S/390", also "s390x" per 'uname').
There's no lack of equality. There is sometimes a lack of time or other resources on
part of the participants. But Marist College itself has contributed significant machine
resources to various mainframe Linux projects.
 
I hope this helps.

Hi,

there is a discussion about the creation of a Community Linux Working Group for all
community Linux distributions runnable on IBM Z.
That is a result of the first step by Debian together with the Open Mainframe Project. I
asked for something equal to that for openSUSE in the next step.
Elizabeth suggested then to convert this idea to one Working Group for all of us and I
want to ask you, whether anybody of the existing s390x team at Fedora wants to join this
discussion.

This Working Group should also provide us better support in the future. We want to have
equality.
Additional ideas are welcome for this next discussion at the TAC meeting, October 14th
2021 at 1:00 pm US Eastern Time.
These TAC meetings are available for such ideas and approvals for the Open Mainframe
Project as part of the Linux Foundation.

In my case, I asked our openSUSE Board for being allowed to be a Community Representative
in this decision making process.
I would suggest you to do that equal with the Fedora Council.

Best regards,
Sarah J. Kriesch
