## Guillaume - Arm

Tumbleweed:
    * Rolling
    * Still issues with OBS => openQA rsync

ARMv9 project: (Rebuild of Tumbleweed rings 0+1 packages + few others)
    * Wiki page: https://en.opensuse.org/Armv9_project
    * Rolling


## Sarah - s390x
* Tumbleweed:
    * clamav test is failing because of outdated data:
https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/6002367#step/clamav/1
    question: Why is it failing only on s390x? All archs should be
affected then.
    * Mesa: Sarah has reported to IBM regarding the reproducability of
Wayland/Mesa: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/work_items/12267
    * ghc is receiving support by SUSE (internally build is working):
https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1263121

* openSUSE zSystems BBQ Party:
    * already 5 participants
    * IBM OpenShift Developer wants to join (+ conference)

* z16 access:
    * openSUSE can receive 1 VM with IBM VPN access in a IBM data center
    * z17 earliest availability (for IBM Partners) in 2 months
