Agenda
- AlmaLinux 9 beta came out with s390x support: https://almalinux.org/blog/almalinux-9-beta-now-available/
- Fedora 36 release is on 10 May
- openSUSE conference coming up in Nürnberg, Germany and Sarah is giving her Collaboration instead of Competition talk: https://events.opensuse.org/conferences/oSC22/program/proposals/3700
- Sarah launched a discussion about additional hardware possibilities, beyond what RHEL, SUSE, and Ubuntu have proposed and are collaborating with IBM on, community input from what the distros are seeing
- If the hardware has $x feature, it may be interesting to see $y business cases realized
- Do new HMCs have optical drives for DVD-based installs? Interesting question for installation / maintenance from the distros.
- Remote desktop xrdp client isn’t building on openSUSE: https://build.opensuse.org/package/live_build_log/openSUSE:Factory:zSystems/xrdp/standard/s390x (the server is fine, which is the more common use case)
- Ulrich checked - upstream claims to support it, a patch went in in March 2021
- FYI Fedora patch: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/xrdp/blob/rawhide/f/xrdp-0.9.16-arch.patch
- Open Mainframe Project CFP: https://events.linuxfoundation.org/open-mainframe-summit/program/cfp/
