SUMMARY:DevConf.CZ (Brno\, Czech Republic)
DESCRIPTION:DevConf.CZ \, which takes place on June 16-18 in Brno\, Czech Republic\, is an annual\, free\, Red Hat sponsored community conference for developers\, admins\, DevOps engineers\, testers\, documentation writers and other contributors to open source technologies. At DevConf.CZ\, FLOSS communities sync\, share\, and hack on upstream projects together. \nDevConf.CZ is committed to fostering an open and welcoming environment at our conference. We set expectations for inclusive behavior through our code of conduct and media policies\, and are prepared to enforce these. \nOn Saturday\, June 17 at 2:45 – 3:20 pm\, Sarah Julia Kriesch\, an Open Mainframe Project Ambassador\, CO-Chair of the Linux Distributions Working Group and Lead IT/OT Engineer at Accenture\, will give a presentation titled\, “Linux Distributions Collaboration on the Mainframe.” \nDebian\, openSUSE and Fedora have founded together the Linux Distributions Working Group at the Open Mainframe Project for achieving better support for the mainframe architecture s390x and collaboration for providing solutions. That has been such success\, that SUSE\, Red Hat\, Canonical (Ubuntu)\, AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux have joint also. The question has popped up\, whether we should be open only for all Linux Distributions or should we include also important upstream projects in our Linux Distributions Working Group. In this presentation we will represent the existing benefit for all Linux distributions\, where we are and what we want to achieve for the future. Add this to your schedule here. \nRegister for the free conference or learn more about it on the main DevConf.CZ website. \n

SUMMARY:VM Workshop 2023 (Columbus\, Ohio)
DESCRIPTION:The VM Workshop 2023 takes place on June 22-24 at Ohio State University in Columbus\, Ohio. VM Workshop is a grassroots non-profit organization made up of customers\, ISVs\, and business partners with an interest in the use and growth of the z/VM platform\, Linux on IBM Z\, and VSE (z/VSE and VSEn). \nOpen Mainframe will be represented by several project leaders and ambassadors: \nOn Thursday\, June 22 at 11 am – 12 pm\, Len Santalucia\, Chair of the Open Mainframe Project Governing Board and CTO and Business Development Manager at Vicom Infinity\, and John Mertic\, Executive Director at Open Mainframe Project\, will give a presentation about the “State of the Open Mainframe Project.” \nThe Open Mainframe Project turns 8 this year\, and has seen much success in establishing not only a home for open source on the mainframe\, but also has been a driver towards building a diverse and inclusive culture in mainframe to help bring in the next generation. With the planned launch of a mainframe to be used by the open source community and greater collaboration with other open source projects and organizations\, mainframe is now becoming more mainstream. In this talk\, we will provide an update on the Open Mainframe Project and ways you can engage. \nOn Friday\, June 23 at 11 am – 12 pm\, Mike Friesenegger\, Chair of Feilong and Solution Architect at SUSE\, will give a presentation titled\, “Feilong: The Open Source API for z/VM Automation.” \nFeilong is an Open Mainframe project. Come learn about the project as well as be introduced to the technical components. A demonstration will show the API in action driving z/VM functionality. \nTo check out all the sessions\, click here.
