IBM TechU
2021-10-25 - 2021-10-28
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.
Open Mainframe Project will have two sessions on-demand:
Back to the Future with COBOL – John Mertic, the Linux Foundation, and Misty Decker, Micro Focus
COBOL 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.
In 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.
How we used Zowe to create VIVA, an Alexa and Siri rival – Alex Kim and Len Santalucia, Vicom Infinity
I 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.

Code PaLOUsa 2021
2021-08-18 - 2021-08-20
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:
Joe Winchester, Wowee it’s Zowe – how the mainframe got its groove again – Thursday, August 19 at 8:30 am EDT
The 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
Jessielaine Punongbayan and Richelle Anne Craw: VS Code for Green Screen Developers. Thursday August 19th 9:45am EST
Mainframe 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
Jessielaine Punongbayan and Richelle Anne Craw: COBOL Coding in the Cloud. Friday August 20th 8:30am EST
How 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
John Mertic and Joe Winchester: Who said you can’t teach an old dog new tricks? – Friday, August 20 at 9:45 am EST
The 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

SHARE Virtual
2021-08-09 - 2021-08-13
The SHARE virtual conference (#SHAREvirtual21) is hosting its summer session on August 9-13. There will be more than 100 live sessions and 100 on-demand presentations focused on a variety of topics related to mainframes. Several Open Mainframe Project community leaders will be speaking at the event about Zowe, COBOL and other topics. Take a look at the details below and add these sessions to your schedule.
Monday, August 9:
12 – 12:45 pm: How Zowe made the mainframe open, simple and familiar – Joe Winchester, IBM
The Zowe project launched at Share in August 2019, will be two years old this month ! This talk will cover how the project has grown up to where it is today, with its core components, its incubators, its community, and its customers. The focus will be on how Zowe has been deployed as infrastructure for education classes, at customer sites for automating system operations and devops tasks, by developers learning VS Code rather than ISPF, and by vendors modernizing their mainframe software tools by onboarding them within the Zowe technology stack. Attendees to this talk will get to hear real world examples of where Zowe has been a success, together with where it didn’t meet customer needs but was able to evolve and add missing or new features. Speakers include a customer, and a student who has done Master the Mainframe before and after Zowe.
1:15 – 1:35 pm: What’s new with Zowe CLI? – Rose Sakach and Michael Bauer, Broadcom
Join us for a review of some key CLI features planned for the Zowe V2 LTS release. From converting to the new profile configuration offering easier onboarding for CLI users, to nearly instantaneous response time for interactive commands, we will include the value-add details and help prepare you on how best to take advantage of each of them.
1:40 – 2 pm: Configuring Zowe CLI with new team configuration – Eugene Johnston, Broadcom
The Zowe Team Configuration replaces the current method of defining application profile properties. The goal is to enable team members to easily share their configuration. We will discuss how this changes the way users configure Zowe-CLI.
Tuesday, August 10:
10 – 10:30 am: Colleagues in Corvettes Getting Cappuccinos – Greg Lotko, Broadcom
Join us for a fun-filled session and learn about some of the latest mainframe trends and best practices.
10:45 – 11:05 am: Top 5 (and more) reasons customers modernize with Zowe’s API mediation layer – Rose Sakach and Michal Supak, Broadcom
Do not miss this session if you are beyond experimenting with Zowe. We will describe the critical role of the API Mediation layer and share some tips and tricks for installation.
11:10 – 11:30 am: Using a Zowe CLI plugin to manage mainframe developer workspaces – Vaughn Marshall and Michael Vasak, Broadcom
Modern developer workflows involve coding in a working directory, typically opened in an IDE. Using CLI’s like Git, they are able to easily sync and integrate changes from other developers via a single command. No tracking what you’ve changed or where conflicts lie hidden in the central repo. In this session we’ll see how we constructed a similar experience for mainframe developers using a Zowe CLI plugin.
11:45 am – 12:05 pm: DIY Zowe Explorer Starter Kit – Jessielaine Caidic Punongbayan and Richelle Anne Craw – Broadcom

o you want to build a mainframe VS Code extension but don’t know where to begin? Good news! We have just what you need to get you started. In this session we will talk about building VS Code extensions using Zowe Explorer extensible APIs. We will share code samples, tips and tricks and best practices so that you don’t have to start from scratch. We will also discuss what you need to keep in mind while building, in order to be compatible with the Zowe Explorer conformance criteria.

Wednesday, August 11:
12:45 – 1:30 pm: Do you really understand mainframe modernization? – Ed Airey and Misty Decker, Micro Focus
The phrase Modernization has been used frequently in the last year, but do you really understand what Modernization means when it comes to Mainframes? Does it mean moving off of the mainframe or rewriting COBOL applications in Java? Modernization means many things to many people and differs based on the requirements and the desired outcome. Today’s demands require mainframe applications to do more for the business—connect, share, integrate and secure—across networks, devices, platforms and the cloud. All while running the business and keeping the lights on. These mammoth mainframe systems aren’t going away either. Rather than a re-write or replacement strategy which is prone to cost overruns and risk of failure, IT leaders are looking to modernization as a pragmatic path to achieve IT transformation. During this session, we will: • introduce a new mind-set to mainframe modernization including how to re-think digital change for IBM Z applications. • Share the research into the effectiveness of various techniques. • explore how your organization can get started quickly along this modernization journey by leveraging best practices, proven technology and choosing the best modernization technique for your unique situation.
3:45 – 4:30 pm: Avoid unconscious bias to become a better professional – Misty Decker, Micro Focus
What does unconscious bias have to do with being an ally? In this session, we’ll explore this question and in the process learn something about ourselves. We’ll start with a revealing riddle and an exploration of unconscious bias, learning how we all have biases. Then we’ll discuss what it means to be an ally, including specific actions you can take to help others. Finally we’ll explore how an awareness of our own biases is essential to being an ally.
3:45 – 4:30 pm: What’s new in cloud provisioning and management with continuous delivery – Hiren Shah, IBM
Cloud Provisioning and Management for z/OS allows middleware system programmers to create software service templates that provision IBM® middleware, such as IBM Customer Information Control System (CICS®), IBM DB2®, IBM Information Management System (IMS™), IBM MQ, and IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS). System programmers can track software instances that were provisioned from those templates. Application developers can quickly provision and deprovision an environment as needed through a self-service software services marketplace. In this session we will go over new enhancements provided in Cloud Provisioning and Management with continuous delivery stream.
Friday, August 13:
11 – 11:45 am: Shh! Don’t say the M-word; How to talk about mainframes – Misty Decker, Micro Focus
To the non-mainframer, the word “Mainframe” comes with lots of assumptions, usually not complimentary. In this session, we’ll explore the word “Mainframe”. – Explore the wide range of ways people use the word “mainframe” and the confusion that can ensue. – Learn how you can explain what you do in a way anyone can understand. – Learn how to convince people mainframes are cool with just a few words.

Unmasking Our 'Whole Self': Can We Create Inclusive Psychologically Safe Spaces in the Workplace?’ Webinar
2021-07-28 09:00 - 10:00 (America/Los_Angeles)
In the third webinar installation of the Making Our Strong Community, Stronger collaborative initiative on diversity, equity and inclusion, ‘Unmasking Our ‘Whole Self’: Can We Create Inclusive Psychologically Safe Spaces in the Workplace?’ we look at how the pressures of the pandemic have heightened racial, gender and additional inequalities.
Register for the July 28 webinar at 9 am PDT/12 pm EDT here: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_9lBJWkNzSpChfbUQoa8n3w.
Work/life integration is the modern equivalent of work/life balance, and inherent in this is the idea that your “whole self” is welcome at work. As the last many months demonstrated, there is less separation between work and personal lives than we originally thought. But this idea of work/life integration and its influence on corporate inclusion plays out differently for different people, when being your “whole self” is a privilege—while some may be comfortable being their genuine “whole self” at work, others (especially those from more diverse populations) still feel a need to wear a mask based on how they are expected to behave but not who they really are. How can we create psychologically safe spaces where all employees feel comfortable bringing their “whole selves” or more of themselves to work? Panelists for this webinar include:

Allyson B. Cook, Program Lead, Customer Engagement Programs, Broadcom
Earl Dixon Jr., Principal Client Services, Vitality Program Tech Lead, Broadcom
Kevin Norlin, Chief Revenue Officer, Rocket Software
Tina Tarquinio, Product Management Director for IBM Z, IBM

We are also pleased to host a unique event after the webinar for attendees only: Dr. Gloria Chance, our webinar moderator and President/CEO of The Mousai Group, will hold a private Town Hall on July 29 at 9-10 am PDT for attendees to join the conversation, bringing their own experiences and questions into this growing DE&I community.
The Making Our Strong Community, Stronger collaborative initiative is sponsored by Broadcom Mainframe Software, IBM, Open Mainframe Project, Rocket Software, TechChannel and VirtualZ Computing.

Jennifer Francis, IBM, Developer Advocate, OpenGroup Master Certified Architect
During 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!
When 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.
I’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.

11-11:25 am: 28453 – Test automation framework of your choice powered by Zowe – Petr Vacula, Broadcom
Mainframe development teams sometimes create their own test automation tools to automate repetitive testing tasks. Most common reasons to build such tools are that formal test automation products do not fit their application’s needs or simply because there are no good test automation products available. At the same time, there are many test automation frameworks available for non-mainframe testing, many of which are open source. What if you could use one of these well established and proven testing frameworks to perform mainframe testing? It can be done by enabling the test automation framework to perform mainframe actions. Zowe client SDK is perfect fit for this duty.
