Agenda:

Sarah is speaking on the main track on Thursday
Elizabeth is speaking at the Open Mainframe Project Community Day event on Monday

openSUSE Hercules discussion on LINUX-390, Sarah said they are working on making the process of using it easier: http://www2.marist.edu/htbin/wlvtype?LINUX-VM.98024
No big updates from Fedora, just branched for version 41 so overall stabilization work
It was noticed on GitHub that upstream nginx builds have ceased, working to connect them with s390x resources in the IBM LinuxONE Open Source Cloud

...

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/

Sarah and Lyz will work together on a proposal about the WG and progress being made, due June 10
If accepted, Lyz will present in person in Philadelphia
