IBM can and does provide raw z/VM VMs at Marist or Syracuse for other Linux distros, such as Debian. That is what you really need, not "hardware". The discussion about donating hardware is off track.
The Debian support is completely community driven and maintained. If there is a group of CentOS developers who want to bootstrap and maintain it, the resources probably can be made available. If this is a request for IBM to enable CentOS on IBMz, that is an orthogonal discussion about IBM resources and likely would require IBM customer demand.
Thanks, David
Hi David,
IBM can and does provide raw z/VM VMs at Marist or Syracuse for other Linux distros, such as Debian.....
Yes, I 've had access to an OpenStack instance on a Z13 Mainframe though Marist (testing Docker images on s390x arquitecture for the Open Mainframe Project).
If there is a group of CentOS developers who want to bootstrap and maintain it, the resources probably can be made available.....
I'm interested in contirbuting on this.
Thanks for your answer.

Just to clarify, I am not referring to OpenStack instances of pre-installed Linux distros at Marist. With proper justification, IBM sponsorship, and knowledge about z/VM, one can obtain raw z/VM accounts.

I inquired a little more about IBM interest in CentOS. If the CentOS Community would like to support CentOS, IBM would like to help. It would be great if the ClefOS port for Z could be folded back into CentOS.

There already is a CentOS-alike port for z called ClefOS, for which IBM contracted Sine Nomine Associates. I think that IBM would want to contribute / convert that port to CentOS and/or use that port to bootstrap an official CentOS port. How can IBM work with the CentOS community to transition ClefOS to CentOS?
I separately have reached out to Karanbir privately.
Thanks, David

Hi James,
Please to meet you, and happy to know that there are people who are also interested in porting CentOS to s390x arquitecture.
Let me know if there is something I can start contributing once a we have a definition on how IBM will work with the community on this interesting project.
Thanks for your attention.

Can you get me looped into the conversation with the folks at IBM, would love to see this move forward.
ClefOS folks are welcome to come and join the effort, as would anyone else, but it would need to run with, build with and deliver via the CentOS process, and need to meet the common criteria we set for content and process.
Thanks for pushing this forward,

Hi, Karanbir
Would you please contact me directly so we can discuss how to move forward with a CentOS port for Z?
