SUMMARY:The 21st Annual Southern California Linux Expo
DESCRIPTION:The 21st Annual Southern California Linux Expo (SCaLE 21x) will take place on March 14-17\, 2024 at the Pasadena Convention Center in Pasadena\, CA. \nSCaLE is the largest community-run open-source and free software conference in North America. It is held annually in the greater Los Angeles area. Elizabeth Joseph\, Open Mainframe Project ambassador and Chair of the Software Discovery Tool and Global Head\, OSPO for IBM Z at IBM\, will be on-site to give a presentation titled\, “Will your open source project run on a mainframe? And beyond!” Her presentation takes place on  Saturday\, March 16\, 2024 at 3:45 to 4:45 pm PT.  \nYou probably developed your open source project for a single\, “default” architecture like x86\, but today there is a growing interest in other architectures\, from ARM to Power\, and yes\, even mainframes (s390x). The talk will present some of the reasons these architectures are growing in popularity\, form factors they’re available in\, and why your open source project may want to consider supporting them. \nFrom there I’ll discuss some of the free tools and programs that are available to open source software developers to port their projects to ARM\, Power\, and s390x\, and give some practical guidance on precisely how to get started. \nThis event is managed by the SCALE team. Stay tuned for more details on the main event website here: https://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale/21x.

This year\, 89% of respondents indicated that Zowe was either running now\, or soon will be by the end of the year.  \nAs more organizations leverage Zowe for their mainframe modernization\, we invite you to join the Open Mainframe Project community on Thursday\, March 28 at 7 am PDT for a webinar that will showcase how you can get involved in Zowe\, an open source software framework for the mainframe that strengthens integration with modern enterprise applications\, and training programs.  \nWith the help of the Zowe community\, Interskill provides a free online “Fundamentals for Zowe” course to build your Zowe skills and get you started on your Zowe journey! There’s even a brag-worthy Open Mainframe Project digital badge to show your Zowe skills to the world! If you are already somewhere along the route\, the best way to learn is from Zowe docs and the discussions in Zowe channels on Slack.  \nRegister here.
