Meetings are held on the 2nd Tuesday of the month. Announcements for upcoming meetings with joining information and precise time are sent to the mailing list.

10 June 2025

Recording: https://zoom.us/rec/share/TyfUqZTudYKndYokiILCyrZW5gEgh92OP64ot6qPFZy7mJdcxLN43-p2Ri1HFFGr.sLdrCppx-beftGD3  

Attendees:

  • Elizabeth K. Joseph (IBM)

  • Sarah Julia Kriesh (openSUSE)

  • Marcela Maslanova (SUSE)

  • Daniel Horak (Fedora)

  • Berthold Gunreben (GSE Linux and z/VM Working Group)

  • Rohan Sen (Developer)

Agenda:

  • Sarah and Elizabeth are submitting a talk related to the WG to the Open Mainframe Project event at TechXchange 2025 in October 

  • Sarah mentioned the offer from Ulrich to run test cases on Telum that the community can’t run right now

    • The proposal is to send test cases to the mailing list, that way:

      • Ulrich, plus others in the community with access, can pick up the test cases and provide results

      • Provides public documentation of the community need for access

    • Berthold mentioned emulation as a way to test, but noted that the features of Telum aren’t available in qemu/unicorn

  • Berthold brought up simple Kubernetes setups in regard to something he was setting up in DATEV where there is a 2 site install with HA failover. It requires a etcd shim called kine (https://github.com/k3s-io/kine ), and it’s not built anymore for s390x because it’s part of k3s, and that has stopped support. As a result, he has written a workaround for it, but there’s currently no official community solution for this on s390x. Mike Friesenegger of SUSE was brought up as someone Sarah can reach out to regarding k3s support and Berthold will meet up with Sarah at the openSUSE conference at the end of the month.

  • Elizabeth brought up the new “Mainframe Software Hub for Linux” project, which should be on-boarded this week and she’ll share the link with the group as we get started (and mentioned Rohan directly, since he brought it up at the last meeting)

Elizabeth let the team know that she’s made the concern available to hear leadership at IBM, and they’re working toward getting access enabled by the end of the year in the IBM LinuxONE Open Source Software Cloud.

    • Ulrich reiterated that IBM wants to get projects access however we can, but there are constraints we’re working within.

    • Sarah reminded the team they’ve been waiting for over a year for this request.

    • Only IBM can add support right now, and there are projects like libxsmm interested in support that we hope to bring on board when we have the new system at Marist

    • Ulrich shared that we could find a way to cherry-pick project members for access to resources on specific development issues.

  • Elizabeth let the team know that IBM has brought on a couple developers for Debian and they’re now doing well with attending to issues that come up, and Andreas confirmed that he has seen their work and offered to help as needed, so has Sarah. Ulrich also shared a bit of history of the s390x version of Debian, and noted the rarity of big endian architectures today.

  • Sarah brought up this issue for an update: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1233167

    • Ulrich shared that the developer who was working on this is unavailable, but this is a big endian problem and IBM is looking to get it addressed

  • Elizabeth shared that she’ll be at the Red Hat Summit doing an “IBM LinuxONE AI Arcade” with CLI games installed from various sources on RHEL and an AI/ML Jupyter notebook for attendees to run through an open source fraud prevention scenario

  • Sarah will be at the IBM Z Symposium 2025 in Stuttgart May 14-15

  • Sarah spoke at Czech Technical University recently and it went well!

The Open Mainframe Project CFP for IBM TechXchange opened last week, Elizabeth & Sarah will submit a presentation together: Community Day or Bust! - Open Mainframe Project

Attendees:

  • Elizabeth (Lyz) K. Joseph (IBM)

  • Daniel Horak (Fedora)

  • Ulrich Weigand (IBM)

  • Sarah Julia Kriesch (openSUSE)

Agenda:

  • Elizabeth presented at the Open Source Summit specifically about the working group with the angle of establishing niche WGs to help stem feelings of isolation by maintainers. But she noted that most of the Q&A was about open source development on the mainframe - there's an appetite for mainframe in the open source community!

  • Daniel shared that Fedora 40 is out, but the cloud images aren’t booting for s390x since the switch to kiwi from imagefactory to produce them, but they’re looking into it

  • Sarah shared that tests for openSUSE Leap for release in the summer are passing and doing well

  • Sarah went to IBM Z Symposium 2024 got a feature request from a client about running the same binaries on Linux and z/OS, but currently users have to use separate compilers and the IBM proprietary one is the only one that works for z/OS

  •  

    • Ulrich shared that there’s work in upstream LLVM to work as a compiler on z/OS, so in the future it may be possible to use it to cross-compile it for both operating systems, but this is not a supported path. A lot of work is happening in the LLVM code repositories on GitHub for those who are curious.

  • At the symposium Sarah also spoke to some IBMers about access to an IBM z16, but it’s not available publicly yet. Elizabeth is working on the case internally due to it being a popular request, particularly due to the AI capabilities they wish to leverage.

  • Sarah shared that she’s going to participate in the upcoming openSUSE conference, no talk on the schedule, but she’ll take advantage of a lightning talk spot if it’s available

  • Elizabeth met with folks from Rocky Linux and AlmaLinux at the Texas Linux Fest and subsequently the IBM LinuxONE Open Source Software Cloud granted a couple VMs to AlmaLinux and facilitated the migration of Rocky Linux to the KVM environment. Sarah chimed in with some recommendations regarding resources for successful, fast builds on the platform, and Elizabeth took an action item to remind them both about this WG if they run into any challenges.

  • Elizabeth presenting on the WG at the Open Source Summit: https://ossna2024.sched.com/event/1aK2u

  • openSUSE 15.6 beta is looking good and on track for release (July-ish)

  • Fedora 40 is on track for a release (next week or so)

  • GTK problem noted previously with colors couldn’t be replicated on openSUSE, but it may be some other library or version mismatch, Elizabeth will follow up with Gayathri about what the plan is (drop support in Debian?)

  • Ubuntu has .NET packages for the upcoming 24.04 release via Launchpad PPA: https://launchpad.net/~mateus-morais/+archive/ubuntu/dotnet8.0.102-s390x Elizabeth will follow up with Frank about status and whether they're doing any announcement around it

  • Ulrich Weigand (IBM)

  • Gayathri Berki (Debian)

Agenda

  • Ingress-nginx issue: https://github.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/issues/10498

  •  

  • Sarah received some feedback at IBM TechXchange that there’s a performance kernel bug, she shared that Ruediger is aware of a bug in the kernel that’s causing some slowness, but we don’t have a bug link handy.

  • Elizabeth brought up the fact that BountySource is gone, so IBM no longer has a payment mechanism for one-off bug solving contributors. If anyone knows of other programs that exist, please let us know. Sarah mentioned German Unix User Group (GUUG) does some sponsorship, but David shared that it’s likely not a great fit due the format of the program, we’re looking for a way to post bugs to the community and allow developers to select them.

  • Ulrich committed and merged s390x support (today!) for support for the LLVM Linker discussed at the last meeting: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/fe3406e349884e4ef61480dd0607f1e237102c74

  • Marcela Maslanova (SUSE)

Agenda

  • Is follow-up needed re: kubernetes/ingress-nginx potential removal? https://github.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/issues/10498

  •  

    • The project was granted a long-lived IBM LinuxONE Open Source Program VM in early January

  • Gtk4, librsvg removal risk via GNOME, Debian https://lists.openmainframeproject.org/g/wg-linux-distros/message/156

  •  

    • Ulrich noted that the Debian team IBM has in India is working on this and they discovered that between version 140 and 142 something broke big Endian in pixel processing, the images that come out are wrong

    • At this point, the problem is identified, it’s just complicated, and the fix may be a few dependencies down

  • unicorn https://lists.openmainframeproject.org/g/wg-linux-distros/message/157

  •  

    • Sarah Julia was able to recreate the issue before Christmas, Ulrich’s team was also looking into it and feels like the solution should be fairly straightforward

  • Should we have a ticketing system to manage items brought up on the mailing list, and at meetings?

  •  

    • Agreed: Not at this stage, everything we’re working on is already tracked in tickets upstream, and easy to keep track of via mailing list and meetings

  • Ulrich shared some LLD (LLVM Linker) support for s390x has been submitted as a patch, so anything depending upon it should start working once that lands: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/75643

  • Elizabeth brought up https://gitlab.gnome.org/jrb/crosswords/-/issues/118 as a lower priority issue, but one that may be easier for us to fix due to expertise in the area and would demonstrate some good will in the community

Agenda

  • Elizabeth and Sarah gave 1 talk about openQA in the SDLC of Linux Distributions as part of the OMS and spoke together in a Panel Discussion about Open Source (from zowe to ansible) at the IBM TechXChange 2023

  • z/VM and Linux Working Group at GSE

           - Newcomers were asking for forum or exchange about Linux on zSystems

           - Partners at IBM and Co Chair thought about new forum to fragment these users

           - Next year there is a conference, where to introduce that.

           - Mailing list is the wrong place for that. Berthold does not know, whether this WG is the correct place.

           - There is already a proposal for the new forum. Link: https://community.openmainframeproject.org/

               → Additional category: Linux 

  • Elizabeth has got less experience with forums. We need notifications about new threads.

    Anybody has to be active there.

    Berthold and others want to be active there. (discussed with Wilhelm Mild) 

    We can receive additional qualified people with Linux knowledge having an eye on all topics.

    Neil has got the idea with Discourse for receiving emails and exchange

  • Sarah is suggesting keeping up the mailing list for Developers and using Discourse/Forum for users.

     

  • Neil: Tries to get software zeek packaged on Fedora:

    https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/zeek/pull-request/1

  • openSUSE: Enablement of python-onnx for AI on Telum processors (within containers):
