<div dir="ltr">I'm working on OpenStack development and testing, mainly focus on LinuxONE cloud. LinuxONE platform is s390x architecture, Redhat/SuSE/Ubuntu/Fedora/Debian and many other Linux distributions can run on LinuxONE. You can get more information about LinuxONE from bottome [1]. From OpenStack perspective, Ubuntu and SuSE and some other distributions(such as ClefOS) provide LinuxONE arthitecture packages, people can build their cloud with those packages, you can get more information from [2] and [3] and [4]. We know that CentOS/Redhat/Fedora have many fans, many many people build their OpenStack cloud based on CentOS/Redhat.</div>

<div>So, we are wondering is it possiable to enable RDO for LinuxONE? E.g, follow RDO community process etc. to build s390x architecture RDO packages, and build other toolset etc., and run testing. And of course, we want contribute to RDO community, make it easier for more people to use RDO on LinuxONE. We have started to try building OpenStack packages and dependency packages from RDO source RPM files. Those build now are running in RHEL 7.x systems on LinuxONE.</div>

recommend you to first go on with building the required dependencies
using RDO (or othe SIGs as you'll probably need things out of RDO scope)
SRPMs on RHEL. From RDO side, we are glad to help and you can share any
issue you may have in #rdo channel in freenode and we'll do our best to
assist you. Also, the vast majority of OpenStack packages in our RDO
Trunk repos ( <a href="https://trunk.rdoproject.org/centos7-master/current" target="_blank">https://trunk.rdoproject.org/centos7-master/current</a>) are noarch so you can probably use them as-is without any rebuild process, so it could be a good starting point.<br></div><div><br></div><div>So
far RDO processes are mainly based on CentOS infrastructure and tools
