SUMMARY:SUSECON 2021
DESCRIPTION:Open Mainframe Project member SUSE will be hosting its annual SUSECON on May 18-20 as a digital event again this year. John Mertic\, Director of Program Management\, will be giving a presentation titled\, “Death of the mainframe? Hope Open source modernized the mainframe.” \nThe open source movement has rapidly become the leading way to develop code for today’s smart and agile businesses. This session will cover how an “open mainframe” is the perfect solution for deploying open source on an enterprise computing platform. Attendees will learn how the open source community has gathered around the mainframe platform and how open source projects such as Zowe\, COBOL and more are the starting point for open development. The session will also cover how the mainframe platform is a natural technology for Linux deployments and how the mainframe community operates within the wider construct of the Linux Foundation. Attendees will also learn about Open Mainframe Projects’s endeavors to promote the next generation of mainframers with its OMP internship program and Women in Technology initiatives. \nTo see the complete schedule or to register for this free conference\, visit the main conference website: https://www.susecon.com/.

SUMMARY:Opening Mainframe Education - Join the Movement! Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Join us on May 19 at 8-9 am PT/11 am – 12 pm ET for an Open Mainframe Project Webinar – this one will focus on the Mainframe Open Education Project! \n\nMainframe Open Education (MOE) Project is a community partnership focusing on ‘open sourcing’ Mainframe learning roadmaps and community knowledge transfer. The MOE mission is to offer all mainframe users a platform to cultivate skill onboarding that is most critical to future hires and to allow for knowledge sharing and community contribution. Why? To make it easier for hiring managers to have access to a plan and co-develop valuable assets – much of it in the minds and archives of our respective organizations. Join us to learn more about this exciting movement and see how you can participate and contribute!\n\n\nRegister Now: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_1mqv7M_2RfiVgQMKmAwAFQ\n\n\n\n\nJennifer Francis\, IBM\, Developer Advocate\, OpenGroup Master Certified Architect \nDuring the day I am a Developer Advocate. In this role\, I get the opportunity to work with customers\, business partners\, and vendors on leading edge technologies and teaching developers how they can use them. I’m constantly challenged to find engaging ways to create technical material that can be used around the world at any time. It is a lot of fun! \nWhen I’m not working\, you’ll find me exploring my new home in the UK\, expanding my baking skills through new bakes or cake decorating\, and doing Olympic weightlifting training. \nI’ve contributed to 3 IBM Redbooks\, blogged for IBM\, and created various customer workshops. If you Google me\, you’ll find videos of me talking about various technologies I’ve worked with and my passion for bringing in new talent to work with and learn from. As time allowed while I was in the US\, I worked with campuses in the Dallas area where I lived to encourage students to continue their technology-related studies and recruited on campus for IBM. I also am a member of the American Indian Science and Engineering Society. As a Cherokee\, I love getting to network with others from similar backgrounds and volunteer to work with students who are paving the way for their families and keeping the culture alive. \n  \n \nLauren Valenti\, Head of Mainframe Education and Customer Engagement\, Broadcom \nLauren is based in Melville\, New York.  Her team is focused on ensuring customers and partners\, who have adopted Broadcom Mainframe Solutions\, have the right technical training designed to acquire\, maintain and improve their IT skills for the Mainframe.  Lauren has held various positions in Marketing\, Support\, and Engineering since joining CA Technologies\, now Broadcom\, in 2000.
