I was invited to join Alan Shimel from Techstrong Group, and John Mertic from the Linux Foundation’s Open Mainframe Project to give my view of what is happening on the mainframe, and give a few predictions for what’s next.

“With more than 20 projects and working groups, the Open Mainframe Project, has a track record of being the focal point for mainframe and IT innovation for a more flexible, scalable and secure enterprise solution. In today’s panel discussion, Alan Shimel and John Mertic to discuss 2022 predictions with leaders for three of Open Mainframe’s most mature and popular projects, Kip Twitchell (IBM), Peter Fanel (Rocket Software) and Suharsana Srinivasan (IBM).”

My participation focused on maintenance and reliability of financial systems, and how open source has to support those rock solid systems.  To hear the predictions, watch here.
