| Re: [PLUG] [plug-announce] Tue Jul 14 - PLUG North - "The Source Awakens: Open Source on IBM Z in a Multi-Architecture World" by Elizabeth Joseph (7pm at SkySwitch) |
Hi everyone, Thanks to everyone who came out to see Lyz's presentation 2 weeks ago. We had quite a lively discussion about open source software and mainframe hardware. For those who were there, and those who couldn't make it, Lyz has put her slides online at https://princessleia.com/presentations/2026/The_Source_Awakens_-_Open_Source_on_IBM_Z_in_a_Multi-Architecture_World_-_PLUG_-_July_2026.pdf Walt On Tue, Jul 14, 2026 at 09:58:55AM -0400, Walt Mankowski via plug wrote: > Hi everyone, > > This is another reminder that PLUG North meets TONIGHT.

Lyz will be giving her quasi-annual talk on open source at IBM. Her talk this year is entitled "The Source Awakens: Open Source on IBM Z in a Multi-Architecture World". > > > > > > > > > As a follow-up to the talk I gave last summer, this talk takes a look at what's changed over the past year as open source continues to expand in the mainframe world, and across other architectures too. We're seeing more purpose-built architectures - ARM is everywhere, RISC-V keeps gaining momentum, and even newer options like LoongArch64 are gaining support. The "source awakening," so to speak, isn´t about any one platform, but about a broader shift toward meeting different workloads with different architectural strengths. IBM Z fits into that same landscape, with decades of engineering behind it and its own set of capabilities. > > > > > > > > > > Beyond multiarch, I'll walk through what open source looks like today on IBM Z and LinuxONE. We'll look at modern build and CI/CD workflows for s390x that are available to open source communities. We're also going to try and take a sneak peek at rpmport and dnf5port, young projects aimed at making it easier to use familiar RPM-based tooling in IBM z/OS UNIX System Services (USS), instead of relying on platform-specific packaging systems. > > > > > > > > > > I'll conclude by sharing how you can access these systems yourself, including options like IBM Z Xplore and the IBM LinuxONE Community Cloud environments. > > > > > > > > The meeting will start at 7.
