Linux Foundation and O pen Mainframe Project O verview Agenda

• O pen Source and T he Foundation • O pen Mainframe Project Background • How to participate in the O pen Mainframe Project • Q /A Open Source and T he W hat is Open Source?

• O pen source is a developm ent m et hod for soft ware that harnesses the power of distributed peer review, transparency of process and the creativity of a global ecosystem of industry experts. • The promise of open source is better quality, higher reliability, more flexibility, lower cost and the opportunity to drive open standards. • O pen source software is most often modular and enables open APIs that can be leveraged to swap out/in new capabilities as members of the community “scratch their own itch”. • Does not have to be just about code – open source projects often encompass marketing and infrastructure goals as well.

6 The Growing Linux Foundation Ecosystem

7 The Linux Foundation is the leader in its field.

“ OpenDaylight arrives with some instant credibility because it’s hosted by the Linux Foundation, the not-for-profit that oversees the Linux operating system, the most successful open source project of them all.” -- W ir ed

“ The mere fact that The Linux Foundation has brought together essentially all the major players in the SDN space and has gotten them to agree to work on a common, open framework is remarkable in its own right.” – Zdnet

“ Just like the Linux kernel, Xen enjoys contributions from a variety of different companies, so a vendor -neutral organization to host development and collaboration is a big win for the project.” – Tech Crunch

“ The Linux Foundation continues to amaze me as it never ceases to stop adding new members to it s r ost er .” – IT Business Edge

“ This organization [Bitcoin] was modeled on the Linux Foundation, according to Gavin Andresen, who is currently the Bitcoin Foundation’s chief scientist.” – The N ew Yor ker

9 Current Linux Foundation Projects Include Impact of Linux Foundation Projects Open Mainframe Project Background O pen source on mainframe not taken off

Disconnected, independent Community events efforts; no shared were industry specific, “hub” of innovation also not vendor Open source on agnostic the mainframe lacked a neutral home for growth No place for students Enterprise level and academic engagement with institutions to engage upstream projects limited

13 O pen Source creates shared R&D

Create an Bring together Provide the open source end-users, solution neutral technical community to providers, app infrastructure and benefit Linux on developers, and governance for the the mainframe system administrators open source project to flourish

14 W hy participate in the O pen Mainframe Project?

Drive awareness of mainframe as first class Linux and Open Source platform

Collaborate with peers on solidifying open source mainframe support for Linux in a vendor neutral environment

Showcase your stewardship and support for the continued growth of the community

15 Technical Focus: Make Linux on Mainframe a first class Linux platform

Identify areas which Fix these problems, C ollaborate with open make Linux on working as an open source communities and Mainframe adoptions source community the upstream projects pr oblematic Highlights of technical initiatives

Sponsored port to s390 architecture and continued development

H osting project for building next generation OpenStack driver for z/VM

Donated code from IBM developed project. C ontinued investment from community Anomaly Detection Engine for Linux Logs Building s390 specific D ocker H ub content and impr oving s390 suppor t Mainframe programs in academia through Linux and O pen Source to produce future mainframers

• Project sponsored summer internship program • Joint development of Linux on Mainframe coursework for universities • University specific partnerships – Marist College ECC - Innovation & Entrepreneurship with Linux and O pen Source – C apstone program with VC U for 2017- 18 school year.

18 Gover nance Model for t he Open Mainfr ame Project

Open Participation with corporate sponsorship opportunities

Technical Steering Marketing Committee Governing Board Committee to lead to help drive awareness oversees business projects and oversee in mainframe decision making collaboration with community upstream projects

19 T echnical C ommunity Roles

T SC: top level decision making body, approves new projects and acts as an oversight committee for cross-project decisions, norms and expectations. T he T SC elects a T SC C hair. • T SC and project meetings are open to anyone in the CTO: a technical “fellow” resource who will be available to technical community, help the technical community focus, plan and execute. IBM has regardless of membership offered an IBM Fellow to work with the Project in this capacity. in the LF or the O pen Mainframe Project Maint ainer : lead developer on a top level project, serves on the T SC • Projects could potentially span multiple disciplines, including code Committer: has the ability to commit code to the development, pr oject’s main br anch, as a group committer s elect a Maintainer documentation, test/build scripting, etc. Contributor: anyone in the community that contributes code or documentation to the project, may become committers after establishing themselves

20 H ow to particpate in O pen Mainframe Project

Open participation for all interested in Mainframe, Linux, and Open Source

Community discussion Shared R&D open Corporate sponsorship and collaboration - both source projects for showing stewardship virtually and at regional in the community events.
