SUMMARY:FOSDEM
DESCRIPTION:Open Mainframe Project will be featured at FOSDEM\, happening virtually on February 5-6.  \nSarah Julia Kriesch\, a DevOps Consultant at Accenture and Open Source Contributor at openSUSE\, will be presenting a session about the Linux Distributions Working Group. \nDefault community distributions are running in the same issues for special architectures. Every Linux distribution has got mostly separate maintainers and hardware distributors are handling these communities really often disconnected. That has been identified also for the architecture s390x. Therefore\, openSUSE\, Fedora and Debian have established together with IBM a Linux Distributions Working Group for a better collaboration together and with the goal to receive better support. In this presentation you should receive an overview about a good collaboration between Linux distributions and what you can achieve together with such a Working Group. \nDetails can be found below: \n \n  \nLearn more about the conference or to register\, visit the FOSDEM website here.

SUMMARY:From Educators to End Users: Leveraging Holistic Approaches and the Importance of Belonging Across the Tech Ecosystem
DESCRIPTION:Join us on February 23 at 9 am PDT/ 12 pm EDT for the first 2022 webinar of the Making Our Strong Community\, Stronger collaborative initiative on diversity\, equity and inclusion (DEI) in the mainframe industry. Register here: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_eO5uTSRsThKcAa9M0jgq9Q. \nWe’re mixing up the conversation by sharing the perspective of IBM Z educators and end users. In keeping with our previous discussions\, we are continuing our bold\, open and honest dialog related to the experiences\, challenges\, and solutions to navigating DEI. But this time around\, we’re bringing in one new\, important factor—belonging—making our key initiative diversity\, equity\, inclusion and belonging (DEI-B). \nThroughout last year\, we discussed the importance of telling our stories and creating a climate for success for everyone. We are shifting to demystify the challenges of isolation and loneliness that can occur when programs\, training\, support and other components of the ecosystem may not provide the holistic access\, partnerships\, and opportunities that unlock real belonging and potential for people\, teams\, and companies. \nSome organizations create well-intended approaches to provide help\, however\, these noble attempts can feel like a one and done mentality\, meant to do good\, while possibly further isolating the very individuals who are meant to benefit. DEI-B is not a one-time initiative—it’s a lifetime of educating and listening to everyone in the company to improve. Organizations need to match what’s happening societally to reflect\, hear and understand everyone’s values and needs in order to progress. This is not a one-time initiative\, project or task. \nYou’ll notice that the panelists for this webinar include end users and educational professionals—and that’s no coincidence. From vendors to end users and partners that use IBM Z—there are more perspectives and personalities than you’d expect within the technology ecosystem. This breadth of perspectives makes it more important than ever to build\, support and maintain holistic\, effective approaches that will make the ecosystem stronger working for everyone. \nPanelists include: \n\nDr. Gina Bullock\, Assistant Professor\, North Carolina A&T State University\nChinedu Ibeh\, Corporate Vice President\, Enterprise Compute Services\, New York Life\nByron Smith\, Senior Mainframe Security Engineer\, Systems Technology Banking Officer\, M&T Bank\nNicole Nwakalor\, Specialist\, Systems Engineering\, Infrastructure\, Operations and Cloud\, Charles Schwab\nModerator: Dr. Gloria Chance\, president and CEO\, Mousai Group\n\nWe are also pleased to host a unique event after the webinar for attendees only: Dr. Gloria Chance\, our webinar moderator\, will hold a private Town Hall for attendees to join the conversation\, bringing their own experiences and questions into this growing DEI-B community. \nSponsored by Broadcom Mainframe Software\, IBM\, Open Mainframe Project\, Rocket Software\, TechChannel and VirtualZ Computing.
