SUMMARY:Open Source Summit North America (Seattle\, Washington)
DESCRIPTION:Open Source Summit is the premier event for open source developers\, technologists\, and community leaders to collaborate\, share information\, solve problems\, and gain knowledge\, furthering open source innovation and ensuring a sustainable open source ecosystem. It is the gathering place for open-source code and community contributors. \nOpen Source Summit is a conference umbrella\, composed of a collection of events covering the most important technologies\, topics\, and issues affecting open source today. One of these is events is LinuxCon\, where Elizabeth Joseph\, Open Mainframe Summit Ambassador and Global Head\, Open Source Program Office for IBMZ at IBM\, will be on-site to give a presentation about the Linux Distributions Working Group. \nOn Wednesday\, April 17 at 2-2:40 pm\, she will give a presentation titled\, “How Our Mainframe-Focused Working Group Solved Our Linux Distribution Maintainer Isolation Problem.”  \nWhen you’re the only maintainer caring for a somewhat niche part of your project\, it can be very isolating. This was happening with maintainers of the s390x (mainframe) port of a number of Linux distributions\, and so in 2021 we founded The Open Mainframe Project Linux Distributions Working Group to try and solve this. \nThe working group brought together maintainers of the s390x port of openSUSE\, Debian\, Fedora\, Rocky Linux\, and more to discuss and collaborate on shared issues\, future planning\, and access to hardware resources for development and testing. \nThis talk will provide a basic introduction to the s390x architecture to provide context to why collaboration is required and why maintainers sometimes struggled. Then we’ll dive into some of the specific technical success stories the distributions have from this working group\, and how that’s managed to knock down those walls that were causing us to feel so isolated\, and create a friendly\, collaborative team. Add this to your schedule here. \nYou can find the complete schedule here. Learn more about the event or to register for it\, visit the main Open Source Summit North America website here.

SUMMARY:Open Source Summit North America (Vancouver\, Canada + Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Open Source Summit is the premier event for open source developers\, technologists\, and community leaders to collaborate\, share information\, solve problems\, and gain knowledge\, furthering open source innovation and ensuring a sustainable open source ecosystem. It is the gathering place for open-source code and community contributors. Join us for the Open Source Summit North America\, hosted in Vancouver\, Canada\, and virtually on May 10-12. \nJohn Mertic\, Executive Director for Open Mainframe Project\, and Cynthia Coupe\, Diversity\, Equity and Inclusion Specialist\, co-chairs for SDDI (Software Developer Diversity and Inclusion (SDDI) project will be on-site to give an overview of the project. \nOn Wednesday\, May 10 at 12:05-12:45 pm PDT\, join the session titled “Lean in: Software Developer Diversity and Inclusion Project“ \n“Openness” has always been a core principle in open source. It’s designed to grant everyone with the ability to use\, update and distribute source code for any purpose. Unfortunately\, open doesn’t always mean everyone feels welcome. Like the broader tech industry\, open source has a diversity problem. Though anyone and everyone is welcome to contribute – many under-represented groups like women\, minorities\, parents\, non-technical contributors\, members of the LGBTQ+ and more have shared stories of the challenges they’ve faced in open source communities. The Linux Foundation believes that people of vastly different backgrounds\, nationalities\, orientations\, and identities create stronger communities that produce better outcomes and more robust technologies. Re-launched earlier this year\, the Software Developer Diversity and Inclusion (SDDI) project is dedicated to improving this. The mission of SDDI is to discover\, evaluate\, and promote best practices from research and industry to increase diversity and inclusion in software engineering. In this session\, attendees will learn more about SDDI\, its goals and how to get involved. Add this to your schedule here. \nOn Thursday\, May 11 at 11 -11:40 am PDT\, join the session titled\, “Hidden Differences: How to be Inclusive When you Don’t Know – Cynthia Coupe\, OARS  \nWorkplaces and managers are being asked to be all inclusive for their workers\, but what does this mean? How can you be inclusive if you don’t know there is a difference? Sometimes we have employees who don’t even know they are neurodivergent\, so how do we navigate this in the workplace to be inclusive of all people\, whether or not their differences are hidden\, known or unknown? How can we create an environment where everyone is supported if we don’t even know what who or what we are supporting? \nThis presentation will address these issues and provide some guidance as to how to make an inclusive workplace\, what inclusive attitudes are and why this is important for everyone. Add this to your schedule here. \nOn Thursday\, May 11 at 2:55-3:35 pm PDT\, join the session titled\, “Squashing Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion Bugs in Open Source Projects: How to Find and Resolve Common “DEI Bugs” –  Georg Link\, SDDI member and Direct of Sales at Bitergia \n\nOpen source software projects are hyper-collaborative environments but surveys reveal that project members lack diversity. There are many reasons why open source projects appear uninviting to people of underrepresented groups. We would consider these reasons “bugs” if the system was software. This talk uses the idea of DEI bugs to discuss how we can identify where open source projects fall short in being inviting and inclusive. The goal of this framing is to find ways to squash these bugs and bring out the potential of everyone who has an interest in our open source projects. A concrete suggestion is to walk in the shoes of others and take a fresh look at your project. The audience will learn actionable steps to take a new look at their own open source projects and start making a positive difference. This revised talk adds a discussion of common DEI bugs\, where they come from\, and how we can resolve them. [notes to program committee:] We revised this talk based on feedback that the talk could be improved with more examples and guidance. We walk faster through the steps of identifying DEI bugs and added a discussion of common DEI bugs\, based on peer-reviewed research. Add this to your schedule here.\n\n\nTo register for the conference or learn more about the schedule\, visit the main Open Source Summit North America website here.

SUMMARY:Open Source Summit Europe (Dublin\, Ireland + Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Open Source Summit Europe\, which takes place in Dublin\, Ireland is on September 13-16 and will have a virtual element. \nOpen Source Summit is the premier event for open source developers\, technologists\, and community leaders to collaborate\, share information\, solve problems\, and gain knowledge\, furthering open source innovation and ensuring a sustainable open source ecosystem. It is the gathering place for open-source code and community contributors. \nOpen Source Summit is a conference umbrella\, composed of a collection of events covering the most important technologies\, topics\, and issues affecting open source today. \nOn Thursday\, September 15 at 2-2:45 pm\, Jeff Reser\, Head of Solution Marketing at SUSE\, will give a presentation about “How to Help the Next Generation.” \nThe technology skills gap is not new. Mainframe organizations are aware of the skills gap and the difficulties of attracting new talent to the mainframe because of misguided notions that it’s an outdated system. Far from being obsolete\, many mainframes today are seeing increased workloads as they underpin high volume transactions in a number of industry sectors\, boosted especially by the rise in customer facing online and mobile applications. Whole generations of people are “touching” the mainframe in this way without even realizing it. Open Mainframe Project aims to educate the next generation through its hands-on programs including the COBOL Programming Course\, Mainframe Open Education and the Mentorship Program. In this presentation\, attendees will learn more about these programs and how to can get involved. Add this to your schedule here. \nRegister to attend in person or virtually: https://events.linuxfoundation.org/open-source-summit-europe/register/.

SUMMARY:cdCON 2021
DESCRIPTION:Open Mainframe Project will be participating in cdCON\, a virtual event on June 23-24\, for the first time this year with two presentations. \nOn Wednesday\, June 23 at 7:45-8:15 am PST (10:45 – 11:15 am EST)\, Broadcom’s Daniel Kelosky\, Software Architect\, and Michael Bauer\, Product Owner will give a presentation titled\, “Mainframe DevOps and Modernization.” Add this to your schedule here. \nThis presentation will show traditional mainframe development practices and interfaces and how the practices and interfaces can be modernized with Open Mainframe Project’s Zowe framework. The session will be in the context of C and assembler language software development for z/OS\, but the concepts apply to other language development for mainframe\, like PL/1 or COBOL. \nOn Wednesday\, June 23 at 11:30 am – 12 pm PST (8:30 – 9 am EST)\, John Mertic\, Director of Program Management at the Linux Foundation\, and Sudharsana Srinivasan\, Program Manager at IBM\, will lead a session titled\, “Back to the Future with COBOL.” Add this to your schedule here. \nMainframe applications are the lifeblood of the global economy. COBOL is the lifeblood of those applications. Yet few people realise or acknowledge the profound impact the COBOL language has had over its 60 year history. Showcasing a brand new OMP Working Group\, this session reveals COBOL’s secret history and the efforts of OMP and others to bring COBOL’s value to the public eye. The session will cover – 1. COBOL’s enduring value – how it stood the test of time 2. Recent trends to demonstrate COBOL’s ongoing popularity 3. The work of the OMP in promoting COBOL. \nOpen Mainframe Project is a proud sponsor of cdCON. To learn more about the conference or to register for it\, visit the cdCON main event site: https://events.linuxfoundation.org/cdcon/ \n  \n
