AlmaLinux 9 beta came out with s390x support: https://almalinux.org/blog/almalinux-9-beta-now-available/
Fedora 36 release is on 10 May
openSUSE conference coming up in Nürnberg, Germany and Sarah is giving her Collaboration instead of Competition talk: https://events.opensuse.org/conferences/oSC22/program/proposals/3700
Sarah launched a discussion about additional hardware possibilities, beyond what RHEL, SUSE, and Ubuntu have proposed and are collaborating with IBM on, community input from what the distros are seeing

If the hardware has $x feature, it may be interesting to see $y business cases realized
Do new HMCs have optical drives for DVD-based installs? Interesting question for installation / maintenance from the distros.

Remote desktop xrdp client isn’t building on openSUSE: https://build.opensuse.org/package/live_build_log/openSUSE:Factory:zSystems/xrdp/standard/s390x (the server is fine, which is the more common use case)

Ulrich checked - upstream claims to support it, a patch went in in March 2021
FYI Fedora patch: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/xrdp/blob/rawhide/f/xrdp-0.9.16-arch.patch

Open Mainframe Project CFP: https://events.linuxfoundation.org/open-mainframe-summit/program/cfp/
