[rdo-dev] Build Rdo Train in RHEL 8 on LinuxONE

[FuLong Wang]

Hi Alan and the Admin Team,


Much appreciate for the help in our previous project phase!!!
Now, we can share the built with worldwide users & fans, it's really a 
valuable milestone for our efforts!
No doubt, this is just the beginning of our contribution to the 
community, we will try our best to continuously feedback and improve the 
delivery to community and end users.


I'm the project manager of the OpenStack Enablement on LinuxONE and we 
would like to go further to seriously consider the "official official" 
step you mentioned in last mail.

We want to have a deep collaboration with CentOS community to make the 
CentOS for s390x architect available first and then the CI env.
But we only have a little idea about building, testing and releasing a 
Linux operating system, not actually knowing how much processes, skills 
and efforts involved and in which part of the processes need IBM team's 
input/efforts.
We may can managed to afford a remote hardware resource to share to 
community inside US for this purpose and so need a detailed resource 
requirements for further evaluation inside our business unit.

Would you like to shed light on the overall processes, step by step 
procedures/requirements and a roughly estimation for enablement duration?


Thanks in advance!


Cheers
FuLong
