Hello, I am happy to announce, that I have received the approval from IBM that they want to sponsor VMs with openSUSE for us and our Mentees during the hackathon. I have created/ started with a wiki page for "Good First Issues" and an introduction how to contribute to our s390x port. That will not be only for such mentorships. That is really useful in general for newbies in our team. - https://en.opensuse.org/ZSystems/Good_First_Issues You can add ideas and expand this page, too. I will forward the description of the old email, if there will be no suggestion of improvements. :) Best regards, Sarah ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hello together, our s390x port has been reviewed and we are invited as a mentoring organization to the Open Source Day and the Grace Hopper Celebration. I have applied as a "Featured Project" now and we need our project description now. The Open Source Day is the 15th July 2021 and online. We have to provide a minimum of 30 "good first issues". I thought that would be a good entry point for everybody in our team. Therefore I have created this wiki page now: https://en.opensuse.org/ZSystems/Good_First_Issues We can add mentorship content until July. Then we need a nice description for openSUSE and the s390x port. You can see descriptions of other projects of the last year on this page: https://ghc.anitab.org/programs-and-awards/open-source-day/2020 I am open for improvements and other suggestions. What do you say about this text? ==Contribute to openSUSE== During this session, you will contribute to openSUSE, a Linux based open-source project which provides Linux distributions as the rolling release openSUSE Tumbleweed, the stable release openSUSE Leap and for Kubernetes openSUSE Kubic. Additionally, there are multiple sub-projects with expanding software. The openSUSE project supports the hardware architectures x86, arm, PowerPC and s390x. Participants in this Open Source Day project will learn about multiple ways of openSUSE contributions and how to become an openSUSE Member. In addition, they receive an insight how to enable application software as Container Images or packages. Do you want to help make a contribution? Then go to an openSUSE Mentor and you will be allowed to receive your first openSUSE experience on a mainframe (outside of your pc hardware experience). We support you during your first steps with contributions to Linux. We are open for all questions, too. Best regards, Sarah
