Mentioned on today’s Project Proposal 101 session, here are three projects coming in the next week:
Close the gap of s390x packages in packagehub (including Kubernetes)
Document to deploy Kubernetes cluster on Z leveraging SUSE Linux Enterprise Server
Validate/test Cloud Foundry on Z
Feel free to ask questions and @mfriesenegger can help answer. And you can apply for the summer internship program at https://github.com/openmainframeproject/tsc/blob/master/projects/internship.md

# Increase the number of s390x packages in SUSE Package Hub
## Description
The goal of this project is to increase the number of popular open source community packages ready for install on s390x by building and making the packages available in SUSE Package Hub. An intern will work with the Open Mainframe Project Technical Steering Committee to identify packages to be added to the s390x Package Hub repository. The intern with the mentors will review the package list and identify the package request submissions for a successful internship. After the packages have been identified, an intern will work with the openSUSE community and SUSE engineers to submit package requests for approval in Package Hub.
## Additional Information
The package submission process can be reviewed at https://packagehub.suse.com/#contribute and https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Backports_Package_Submission_Process.
[SUSE Package Hub](https://packagehub.suse.com/) is a repository of packages that are built and maintained by a community of users and "packagers". The packages are SUSE approved and are built within the [openSUSE Factory](https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Factory) project using the [Open Build Service](http://openbuildservice.org/). While the packages from the SUSE Package Hub are not officially supported by SUSE, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) remains supported and supportable when using these packages. Package Hub contains packages for all architectures supported by SLES - AArch64, ppc64le, s390x and x86-64.
## Desirable Skills
* Basic knowledge of RPM package creation
* Willingness to learn about bulding RPM packages using the Open Build Service
* Willingness to learn about the Open Build Service and osc - the Command Line Interface to work with the Open Build Service
* Troubleshooting issues with building RPM packages for SLES s390x
## Expected Outcome
**The following numbers are suggestions and the final numbers will be decided by the intern and mentors.**
* Worked with the OMP TSC to identify 15 potential packages. An example is kubernetes and dependent packages.
* Reviewed and choose 10 packages that will be submission targets for SUSE Package Hub approval.

Hi jmertic,
My name is Sofia Enriquez and I am a systems engineering student at the National Technological University of Argentina, in Buenos Aires.
I wonder If I can I apply for both 2 and 3 projects in my proposal? In case one of them already have an intern selected? This is possible in Google summer of code and Outreachy, where you can postulate for more than one project.
Best Regards,
