SUMMARY:IBM TechU
DESCRIPTION:Join Open Mainframe Project at IBM’s Tech U\, a virtual training event happening on October 25-28. TechU is the The premier virtual training event for deep technical content on IBM IT Infrastructure products and solutions. \nOpen Mainframe Project will have two sessions on-demand: \nBack to the Future with COBOL – John Mertic\, the Linux Foundation\, and Misty Decker\, Micro Focus \nCOBOL is the lifeblood of mainframe applications that power the global econony. It is reliable\, proven and the foundation of most mission critical financial services at the world’s biggest banks. Yet few people realize or acknowledge the profound impact the COBOL language has had over its 60-year history. \nIn this discussion\, we’ll take a look at the COBOL’s history\, the sudden demand for it\, the academic landscape and the efforts of Open Mainframe Project and other organizations to create resources for COBOL and showcase its value to a broader audience. \nHow we used Zowe to create VIVA\, an Alexa and Siri rival – Alex Kim and Len Santalucia\, Vicom Infinity \nI used Open Mainframe Project’s Zowe framework to create VIVA (Vicom Infinity Voice Assistant). We used API connectio to integrate many other system API’s the mainframe\, but we wanted to use open source. This session will discuss moving from monolithic applications toward an API economy. That means leveraging microservices and DevOps practices\, with a fully integrated and automated pipeline enabled by a hybrid cloud architecture plus best-of-breed\, open source tooling and communities such as Zowe. I will offer a live demonstration of how VIVA works as an enterprise application use case. \nLearn more about the conference or register here: https://www.ibm.com/training/events/vtechu2021. \n  \n

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/.
