Hello friendly Ubuntu developers.
Do you have software in a Personal Package Archive (PPA) on Launchpad? It just got super easy to build it for OpenPOWER!
OpenPOWER is the future. Future is now. You can be part of it.
Head over to Launchpad and do this.
Visit the main web page for your PPA. For example:
https://launchpad.net/~person-name/+archive/ubuntu/ppa-name
Follow the “Change details” link. Enable OpenPOWER by checking the box "PowerPC64 Little-Endian (ppc64el)"
More information can be found at the Launchpad blog here:

Thanks Colin Watson, and many other fine folks in Canonical including our wonderful sysadmins for making this a day to celebrate!
