SUMMARY:I am a Mainframer: Personal Stories and Lessons from the Next Generation of Mainframe Developers
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Wednesday\, August 18 at 8-9 am PDT for a new webinar that explores “Personal Stories and lessons from the next generation of mainframe Developers.” \nFive open source mainframe developers will share their personal journey into the mainframe\, covering what they’re working on\, the challenges and issues (good and bad) and their experiences with customers\, the open source community\, and more.  \nOne of the challenges of open source and projects like Zowe is how it can reinvent a 60 year old computing platform for the next generation of developers and system programmers and architects at tomorrow’s IT companies.  \nThis webinar will shine the light on four key Open Mainframe community members who are playing their part and open the lid on their successes\, failures\, and questions and answers for the secret sauce that is powering Zowe and other Open Mainframe Projects they are involved with. The success of Zowe and the Open Mainframe Project comes in large part from the diversity and background of its committers\, and this panel brings together a group that includes the Zowe Technical Steering Committee lead together with squad members from different companies. \nSpeakers include: \n\nJoe Winchester\,  Senior Technical Staff Member at IBM (Moderator)\nJakub Balhar\, Staff Software Engineer at Broadcom and Zowe TSC Chair\nLauren Li\, Front-End Developer at IBM\nLeanid Astrakou\, Staff Software Engineer at Rocket\nLeonid Baranov\, Staff Software Engineer at Broadcom\nAshley (Nan Nan) Li\, Content Designer at IBM \n\nRegister for the webinar here: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_XxwiPaFtRreDN1aONdQa_A.

SUMMARY:Code PaLOUsa 2021
DESCRIPTION:Codepalousa is a multi-day software development conference designed to cover all aspects of software development regardless of technology stack. The conference features presentations from well-known professionals in the software development community and virtual booths where leading software development companies come to interact with attendees to show off their latest wares. Open Mainframe Project Ambassadors Joe Winchester\, Jessielaine Punongbayan\, Richelle Anne Craw as well as  John Mertic\, Open Mainframe Project Director\, will be presenting several sessions including: \nJoe Winchester\, Wowee it’s Zowe – how the mainframe got its groove again – Thursday\, August 19 at 8:30 am EDT \nThe mainframe is often viewed as a legacy 65 year old computing platform operated by grey (or zero) haired developers typing 8 letter commands into green screens. This talk myth busts that stereotype and discusses the growth of the mainframe in today’s hybrid computing world\, especially around the Linux Foundation’s Zowe project. This provides a command line interface\, a VS Code extension\, academic initiative training courses\, and is a bridge to modern tech stacks around Jenkins\, Node.js\, Swift\, Golang and more. https://www.codepalousa.com/Sessions/1983 \nJessielaine Punongbayan and Richelle Anne Craw: VS Code for Green Screen Developers.  Thursday August 19th 9:45am EST \nMainframe modernization is an unavoidable topic for every developer these days\, whether your tool is the traditional green screen or another IDE. How does the coding experience differ between the two? In this session\, we will showcase a side-by-side comparison on these development environments\, based on our experience using both. We will also dig into what the different mainframe VSCode extensions are\, how to take advantage of automation in VS Code\, and how to integrate product-specific components and other open source tools in the developer workflow. https://www.codepalousa.com/Sessions/1997 \nJessielaine Punongbayan and Richelle Anne Craw: COBOL Coding in the Cloud.  Friday August 20th 8:30am EST \nHow do you imagine coding in COBOL? Join this session as we give you a glimpse of our day as COBOL developers working with Eclipse Che4z\, a mainframe development tool that blurs the lines between mainframe and distributed environments. Come and hear about the tips and tricks we learned first-hand; the technologies involved; and the challenges we experienced\, switching from traditional green screen development to Cloud IDEs. We will discuss the benefits of using a cloud managed mainframe stack and how quickly we can provision our development environment and get started with team collaboration. https://www.codepalousa.com/Sessions/2049 \nJohn Mertic and Joe Winchester: Who said you can’t teach an old dog new tricks? – Friday\, August 20 at 9:45 am EST  \nThe Mainframe computer is over 65 years old\, and has a dual personality of either being viewed as a proprietary thing of the past or else a hidden closed locked down machine as espoused in Hollywood movie plots. The truth is neither\, and a huge amount of mainframe computing workload today comes from open source tooling. This talks show the use of Linux Foundation tools\, especially Zowe\, Jenkins\, modern tools such as VS Code\, IntelliJ\, modern languages like Node.js\, Java\, Swift\, Golang\, and more. A lot of the mainframe’s growth comes not from tech\, but from its ability to build communities and academic learning initiatives. From what was once a platform businesses were leaving due to stagnation\, this talk shows the turnaround and the important lessons to be learned that apply to any technology wishing to survive beyond its 50th birthday.  https://www.codepalousa.com/Sessions/2061 \nLearn more about the conference or register for it here: https://www.codepalousa.com/Default.aspx

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
