Project based working time sponsoring for s390x by Accenture
by Sarah Julia Kriesch 26 Jul '21

26 Jul '21

Hello together, I am happy to announce, that Accenture wants to support us with a project based working time sponsoring. We are allowed to enable Kubernetes platforms for s390x with the creation of container images. Michael, Holger, Siarhei, Francesco, Pedro and Roberto are joining our team now. Accenture is providing the possibility to use until 8 hours/week for open-source projects, NGO contributions, conferences and other stuff. We (of this Circle group) want to use this time for openSUSE. :-) Our team is growing and we have got many new team members with different background. Some are really good in DevOps/containers and others in mainframe stuff. I thought about bi-weekly training sessions for knowledge sharing, that all can contribute everywhere and can understand the background of our team and openSUSE contributions. The best matching time for German/Nigerian volunteers is in the evening (USA in the morning). Is there any special day or time for you all, which is not matching with your family or any hobby? Then answer here, that we can find the best time for all! Then we can start next week with the first introduction how to create container images on the mainframe. Best regards, Sarah P.S. For all new people: 1) Feel free to ask questions on this mailing list. 2) Another communication channel is #opensuse-zsystems on Libera.Chat.

Welcome to Peace as a result of the Open Source Day
by Sarah Julia Kriesch 16 Jul '21

16 Jul '21

Hello together, yesterday we took part of the hackathon the Open Source Day (for German people more an Open Source Night with Pacific Time ;)). We have received some new Contributors for our s390x port. I want to say "Welcome!" on our mailing list to Peace from Nigeria. She was really happy with the first tasks and want to continue as part of our time. Therefore, our team is growing. We have received some small fixes for packages yesterdy. Additionally, we wanted to start with the enablement of our Docker Images for s390x. IBM has sponsored some VMs for this event. We figured out, that httpd and tomcat are not buildable on SLES SP2 (default in LinuxONE Community Cloud) because of the Docker version. Httpd had problems with group permissions and Tomcat had problems with the Sysconfig of the application server. Then we took the chance to upgrade one VM to openSUSE Tumbleweed (with success). Afterwards, we did not have any issues with building Docker Images for httpd and Tomcat any more. Both worked afterwards. Best regards, Sarah
