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
