Fedora s390x
- IRC: #fedora-s390x on irc.freenode.net
- Mailing List: fedora-s390x
- Regular IRC meetings: TBD
Targets
- short term goals:
- build all F-10 packages which then will be used to bootstrap F-11
- add all required patches to F-11 CVS
- reached out to known interested parties in community
- reaching out (through contacts) to IBM community (.de)
- have several "interested parties" that will help once we are building packages/trees
- set up externally/publically available koji instance
- s390x koji instance
- identified build guests within Red Hat (internal access only at first)
- identified persistent storage (> 2 TB anticipated in first year alone)
- temporary location (while we sort out long term permanent location)
- start F-11 composes
- identify the resources used for composes
- get F-11 s390x bootable
- this is blocking on the external dedicated environment issue (above)

History
FUDcon 2008 was an excellent event. During the conference, a session on secondary arches was presented and there was an excellent effort made to reach out to new arches.
After several months of bootstrapping as of June 2009 we've reached a state where we have most packages built from current Fedora rawhide CVS. There are still around 600-700 failures, most of the related to java dependencies.
