Thanks for the information Lionel. It’s good to share the efforts and let
folks know. Ideally, from my perspective, IBM should seriously consider adding
an OpenTools offering in z/OS so customers do not have to piece meal these
important tools. My candidates would be:
bash
zsh
git
gzip
python (along with common packages)
virtualenv
I'm excited about the zsh shell. I use zsh with oh-my-zsh and
Powerline10K on all my Linux systems. There is also a port of rsync
which is awesome.
Have a package manager that would allow users to “install” them in their local
user instance since everything is shared on z/OS. Rocket did a nice job with
Miniconda but it still more of a global solution. I would expect the tools
that are most important are those that are part of the CI/CD pipeline, app and
infrastructure automation, etc.
My view is it would be nice if that the tools were available with the system
and that they worked and didn’t turn into an easter egg hunt across projects
and vendors … that hurts the platform; imho.

I was just pointing out an alternative. Obviously if you need official support
then IBM or Rocket are your only options right now.
