All - I have been in discussions with IBM about providing two Linux pSeries VMs for the ooRexx project through their PartnerWorld program. One VM would run RHEL 7.0 and the other SLES 11.3. I have not gone public with these discussions until now because I figured that it would probably not work out. But now we have come to a point where I need feedback from the project team because it looks like we really can get access to these VMs.
The sticky point is that the access would be a limited time access but with the possibility of subsequently renewing that access multiple times. That means that when the access runs out we could reactivate it when we needed it again in the future for the same period. I think that this arrangement would be acceptable but I want confirmation from the team before I proceed. We can get a 30 day access period with no trouble at all. Longer periods, up to 180 days, will be more work (mostly on IBM's part) but is still doable. This access would allow us to be able to break into the pSeries market with no monetary outlay. We could do periodic builds and testing on these VMs with very little work on our part. So what does everyone think about this?
