Description

There is some open source software for Linux on IBM Z and LinuxONE that is only released by the project website (or similar), not through the Linux distributions or other software lists we track.

Create a data file called something like Other_OSS_for_Linux_List.json where we can include these projects.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the repository's existing data files to identify their naming, schema, and entry conventions. Then check project websites for open source software for Linux on IBM Z and LinuxONE that is absent from the tracked distribution or software lists. Done means adding an Other_OSS_for_Linux_List.json file containing the relevant projects in the repository's established format.
