[PLUG] [plug-announce] Tue Apr 12 - PLUG North - "Modern Cobol" by Elizabeth Joseph and Walt Mankowski (7pm EDT online)

[Walt Mankowski via plug-announce via plug <plug@lists.phillylinux.org>]

Last minute change of plans!

Thanks to the COBOL discussion today, we're going to devote this
month's meeting to Modern COBOL.

First, PLUG North welcomes back Elizabeth Joseph. Liz is a developer
advocate at IBM. She'll be on the call from 7-8 PM to talk about a
new report from the Open Mainframe Project COBOL Working Group. Then
I'll be giving an encore presentation of a talk I did at PLUG back in
2017 called "Secrets of the dead: What modern programmers can learn
from COBOL".

For what to expect, Liz says her part will be "not so formal, but
chatty". I've got a proper presentation, but it's more about giving a
flavor of what programming in COBOL is like vs a formal tutorial.

We'll be using Jitsi Meet, a free and open source videoconferencing
platform, for the meeting. The meeting will start at 7 PM EDT (2300
UTC). Liz can only stay on until 8 so we'll try to start promptly at 7
this month.

Jitsi Meet also has apps for iOS and Android. If you decide to
use one of those apps, use meeting code "PLUGNorthApril2022".
