| Re: [PLUG] [plug-announce] Tue Nov 14 - PLUG North - "The Open Source Renaissance in Mainframe Technology" by Elizabeth Joseph (7pm at CoreDial) |
Hi everyone, Just a reminder that PLUG North meets TONIGHT at 7 PM, in-person at Coredial. Details are below. Also a reminder that, like our other recent meetings at Coredial, there won't be any food, and there also won't be a Jistsi feed for the meeting. Sorry for the inconvenience. I'm double-booked tonight with another meeting at 6:30. I'll be at North as soon as I'm able to sneak out of my first meeting. Please don't wait for me to start since I don't know when I'll get there.

These communities have continued to collaborate through the decades since then, but with the rise of proprietary software and changing of the industry, the importance of open source software waned somewhat. In 2015 the renaissance of open source in the mainframe began with the launch of the Open Mainframe Project. This presentation will discuss the success of the Open Mainframe Project and explore the ecosystem of modern open source software available for the mainframe, from bash and git on IBM z/OS Unix System Services to Kubernetes on Linux for the IBM Z architecture. > > The meeting will take place from 6:45-9pm at CoreDial's office space in Blue Bell, PA. > > CoreDial (http://www.coredial.com/) > 751 Arbor Way > Blue Bell, PA 19422 > > Directions and other information are on our website: > > http://www.phillylinux.org/locations/coredial.html > _______________________________________________ > plug-announce mailing list > plug-announce@lists.phillylinux.org > http://lists.netisland.net/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce > ___________________________________________________________________________ > Philadelphia Linux Users Group -- http://www.phillylinux.org > Announcements - http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce > General Discussion -- http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug _______________________________________________ plug-announce mailing list plug-announce@lists.phillylinux.org http://lists.netisland.net/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce ___________________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group -- http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements - http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion -- http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
