It looks like most of the activity here is related to z/OS. I manage z/VM where I work. Does anyone have any experience or resources related to this? It seems it's a bit hard to find info on it other than at the redbooks website.

The z/VM community makes use of listserv pretty often, especially the IBMVM one.  Info here https://www.vm.ibm.com/techinfo/listserv.html.

Consider also joining the z/VM Council where there are monthly meetings and additional forums.  Info here https://www.vm.ibm.com/sponsor_user/zvm_council.html

Yes I know exactly what you mean.  I do think it would be nice to offer more systems programmer centered options for zVM zOS and Z systems itself. I would like to see more of in the education sector especially access to learning the entire environment from the hardware UP.

Yes, it is mostly z/OS centric but a little z/VM trickles in on occasion. If you really want to find a list that is dedicated to z/VM, subscribe to IBMVM on listserv.uark.edu. Lots of z/VM folks there.

Within community, there is a topic group that is focused on z/VM -- https://community.ibm.com/community/user/ibmz-and-linuxone/groups/topic-home?CommunityKey=c5f7bd7f-066e-4f74-926b-ba7b6754bf01

There is the opportunity leverage this in addition to the other items that Marcy mentions below.
