+
+John Mertic provided updates on mainframe infrastructure, indicating the legal blockers from the OMP/LF side are complete, and the IBM should be ready to start onboarding projects. Mike Friesenegger indicated there were blockers raised by the team regarding Feilong, but it was unclear what they were. John Mertic and Mike Friesenegger indicated they would follow up.
+
+John Mertic gave an update on summer mentorships, indicating that they are not funded by Open Mainframe Project this year, but projects can use the LFX Mentorship platform for unpaid mentorships and organizations can donate funds for stipends if they choose.
