<p>Hello Everyone,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I'm from IBM China Development Team and I'm working on a new
initiative that plan to enable a "<b>minimized</b>" or "full"
CentOS operating system on IBM LinuxONE / IBM System Z (s390x
architect).</p>
The reason why we start this topic is we are trying to contribute to
the RDO community with our OpenStack build on LInuxONE.<br>
We have successfully finished the build job for OpenStack Train
Version on LinuxONE and passed the basic function verification tests
recently.<br>
Now, we already have a link for worldwide users & fans to
reference for their needs.<br>
For "official official" contributing to the RDO community, community
admin stated that a TripleO CI env is a must for community release
criteria and<br>
the OpenStack packages need to be built in the CentOS build system
which run on s390x arch.<br>
<p><br>
</p>
So, we turn to here for help, we know CentOS community ever had
releases for s390x arch but for whatever reasons finally stopped for
update.<br>
We want to take this opportunity to enable it up again and therefore<br>
want to know about the overall processes, skills required, hardware
requirements, manpowers and duration estimated and which parts need
IBM's team's input, etc.<br>
<p>Our target is to enable at least a <b>"minimized" CentOS</b>
(which can support the OpenStack CI work), is there a SIG fit for
this purpose? or a "full" CentOS with default feature sets.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Could anybody kindly give us some clue to start this journey?</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Thanks everyone in advance!<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>The Howto of OpenStack Train Installation on IBM LinuxONE had
been merged to the RDO official website.<br>
