Agenda
- As proposed by Berthold at our October meeting, we now have a web forum: https://community.openmainframeproject.org/c/linux-s390x/17 in addition to our mailing list for collaboration.
- Daniel would like to see more distros involved/discussing path toward dracut changes outlined in https://github.com/dracutdevs/dracut/pull/2534
- The public openSUSE Build Service (OBS) resources for s390x uses part of a mainframe that SUSE has, provided by IBM, but resources have been reduced build node-wise, and is causing delays in builds.
- The IBM LinuxONE Open Source Cloud may be able to help here, but they need deeper resources than just VMs, and are requesting access to an LPAR.
- Configuration and performance concerns were also discussed, and more data is needed to see why there is some slowness, this will be followed up by the openSUSE team with contacts in IBM (Elizabeth to collect Sarah, Ulrich, and Berthold on an email thread to see who else needs to be engaged with this evaluation).
- Note: Kubernetes is using OBS for release management https://kubernetes.io/blog/2023/10/10/cri-o-community-package-infrastructure/

- Not an issue right now, but may become resource-constrained if building moves there.
