AMA: What’s NEW in OpenTelemetry on IBM Z and IBM LinuxONE [3762]
OpenTelemetry is a vendor-agnostic, open-source project with the aim to enable an effective observability by making high quality telemetry data from any source available to any target. Research among customers shows that mainframe integration is a mandatory requirement for observability of core business applications. Ideal for IT architects, Site Reliability Engineers and mainframe experts, in this AMA we will discuss fundamentals of this topic and explore best practices for modernizing mainframe observability with OpenTelemetry.

Collaboration of Linux Distributions on the Mainframe – A Benefit for you & all Linux Distributions [2543]
Debian, openSUSE and Fedora have founded together the Linux Distributions Working Group at the Open Mainframe Project for achieving better support for the mainframe architecture s390x and collaboration for providing solutions. That has been such success, that SUSE, Red Hat, Canonical (Ubuntu), AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux have joint also. The question has popped up, whether we should be open only for all Linux Distributions or should we include also important upstream projects in our Linux Distributions Working Group. We have started also to share our automated test suites for openQA. In this presentation I will represent the existing benefit for all Linux distributions and the impact for you as customers with the value of functionality and support.
