PowerPC (ppc64le) / IBM Z (s390x) servers and CIs from Oregon State University Open Source Lab

The following services are to use the PowerPC (ppc64le) and IBM Z (s390x) SSH servers and CI (in my memory it is by Jenkins).

https://osuosl.org/services/powerdev/

To request access to the POWER CI service, use our POWER CI request form.

https://osuosl.org/services/ibm-z/

To request access to the IBM Z CI service, use our IBM Z CI request form.

I may introduce you the services in the past. However, a situation around the SIMDe has been changed recently. I can see that SIMDe is recognized as more important component. Because SIMDe is used as a dependency of the WebAssembly/wabt.

https://github.com/WebAssembly/wabt/blob/e82833182a3362b26a2cbbfce15c279fbadd048c/.gitmodules#L19-L21

And I assume that that WebAssembly is one of the technologies that people want to focus on.

For example, I have seen below.

Red Hat and WebAssembly - December 13, 2022 https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/red-hat-and-webassembly

WASM (WebAssembly) SIG (Special Interest Group) was created in January 2023 in the Fedora project. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/WASM

I was asked from maybe the maintainer of the WebAsembly/wabt RPM package to upgrade the simde RPM package to the newer version. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2192076#c4

So, if you tell people at the POWER/IBM Z services that SIMDe is one of the dependencies of WebAssembly, with citing the links I introduced above, I believe that SIMDe project is sponsored for both the SSH servers and CI services.

What do you think?
