Hello,
 
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.
 
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.
 
As we are very new to RDO community, we have some questions need community help:
1. We don't know is there any RDO guide line if we want to add a new RDO architecture build?
2. There is no CentOS for s390x now, can we build RDO packages on RHEL?
3. Seems there is no RDO packages for CentOS 8/RHEL 8 yet. Should we start with RDO for CentOS 7/RHEL 7?
 
Thank you everyone in advance.
