Would there be enough interest for s390x BoF session and/or mini-track
with talks at Debconf 2016?
I would like to present some of the work that was done on Ubuntu s390x
port and discuss things we could improve in the Debian s390x port.
Finally booked my travel to South Africa, so I'll be there. I'm happy to
talk with whoever is interested in s390x. However, I'd like to suggest
if Ubuntu could contribute the work done in Ubuntu back to Debian. There
is not a lot of manpower behind the port (which might be an
overstatement), so any contribution would be welcome[*].
I think there is few stuff that's genuinely unique to Ubuntu and I,
myself, cannot keep track of all the changes you did to s390x because of
the your relationship with IBM. On the other hand I am very happy with
IBM themselves chiming in on improving debian-installer. That's just
immensely appreciated.
Kind regards and thanks
