Disconnected, independent Community events are efforts; no shared industry specific, not “hub” of innovation vendor agnostic

Open source on the mainframe lacks a neutral home for growth

No place for students Enterprise level and academic engagement with institutions to engage upstream projects limited

13 Foundations enable sustainable ecosystems

Successful Projects depend on members, developers, infrastructure to develop technology, which is turned into products that the market Ecosystem will adopt.

14 Mission of the Open Mainframe Project: Build community and adoption of Open Source on the mainframe

• Eliminating barriers to Open Source adoption on the mainframe • Demonstrating value of the mainframe on technical and business levels • Strengthening collaboration points and resources for the community to thrive Eliminating barriers to Open Source adoption on the mainframe

• Engaged as central expert in demonstrating the mainframe as a viable open source platform, with compelling advantage. • Promotion of modern application and workload examples on the mainframe • Growing career opportunities and academic community engagement • Hosting and participating in local programming and promotion of Open Source on the mainframe • Sponsorship of global initiatives and contests to grow enthusiasm for the platform Demonstrating value of the mainframe on technical and business levels

• Showcase of technical and business case studies through blogs, white papers, and other media. • Champion software and hardware solutions with clients Strengthening collaboration points and resources for the community to thrive

• Engagement through Technical Steering Committee projects and independent projects by members • Visibility to tools, resources, and community forums to tackle technical challenges • Career opportunities from internships through retirement How does the project do this? Telling the “mainframer” story

• Monthly interview series that highlights both new and old in mainframe • Goal is to showcase why people have mainframe in their careers and their views of the technology and career field • Read and listen at https://www.openmainframeproj ect.org/category/blog/i-am-a- mainframer Showcase open source technology on mainframe

• Quarterly publications that highlight key open source technologies, how they are used on mainframe, and steps for getting started. • Current library covers MongoDB, Blockchain, and Docker. • Check them out at https://www.openmainframeproject.org/r esources Academic Investment
