Hello, all. I am not currently a porter but I would like to be one for the s390x architecture.
I am familiar with zSeries system programming and have a lot of experience in running Linux in virtual environments, mostly z/VM on large IBM processors.. I use Linux for 11 year, family with cross compiling tool chain. I am not a DD/DM. and I am somewhat surprised not to see Philiip Kern (pk...@debian.org) on the list.
