Open Mainframe Summit Call for Papers Now OpenOpen Mainframe Project announces Co-Located Events with IBM TechXchange in September and Open Source in Finance Forum in November SAN FRANCISCO, June 7, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The Open Mainframe Project, an open source initiative that enables collaboration across the mainframe community to develop shared tool sets and resources, today announced the launch of the Call for Proposals (CFPs) for the 4th annual Open Mainframe Summit. This year, the premier mainframe event will be co-located with two industry conferences - IBM TechXchange Conference 2023, hosted in Las Vegas on September 11-14; and Open Source in Finance Forum, hosted in New York City on November 1. "As mainframe technology and events evolve and mature, it becomes a more natural evolution to align Open Mainframe Projects and activities with other industry events," said John Mertic, Director of Program Management at the Linux Foundation and Executive Director of the Open Mainframe Project. "This year, by partnering with IBM and FINOS, we are offering attendees the opportunity to enhance their experience with unique presentations and targeted conversations with industry experts." "As open source becomes the default development model for many enterprises, mainframe customers are looking to embrace community developed code for their mainframe environments," said Steven Dickens, Vice President and Practice Leader at the Futurum Group. "The Open Mainframe Project has established itself as the go-to community for mainframe developers, enterprises and vendors alike. The events announced today are a key part of how the community will gather to advance code on the mainframe." Open Mainframe Summit aims to connect and inform all those interested in growing the use of mainframes and related technology in dynamic technical and educational sessions. It is open to students, developers, corporate leaders, users and contributors of projects from around the globe looking to learn, network and collaborate. It will feature content tracks that tackle both business and technical strategies for enterprise development and deployment.
