@pinskia@hachyderm.io @penguin42@mastodon.org.uk @regehr@mastodon.social there were half a dozen compiler developers working on gcc power at the IBM Rochester, MN site too. And iSeries did indeed have a team working on OX (optimizing translator) that went from the machine independent layer to the actual hardware, also at the same site.

@pinskia@hachyderm.io @penguin42@mastodon.org.uk @regehr@mastodon.social I carpooled with one of the guys working on the first Linux port to IBM power, pre-ozlabs.

@acsawdey@fosstodon.org @pinskia@hachyderm.io @regehr@mastodon.social I'm betting there were probably some at Boeblingen,DE or similar, and there was a few elsewhere from randompeople they picked up.
