Hello,

Happy New Year!  I wish everyone the best in 2023 and hope that your year will include a lot of fun and excitement.

Thinking about fun and excitement for learning, let's devote the January meeting to a live session that will set up and use Feilong.  During the January 11, 2023 hour-long meeting which starts at 9am EST, we will deploy Feilong and time permitting also use the Feilong API to show it interacting with z/VM.

Please plan to join the January 11 meeting.  Do not worry if you are unable to join because the session will be recorded.  The link to the session recording will be posted in the Feilong Discussion mailing list.

    Zowe Quarterly Webinar
    Understanding token-based security in Zowe

    Zowe API ML leverages various security token types depending on the choice of the identity provider and ESM subsystems deployment options. Join this session to learn how this technology can help you to achieve the exceptional security expected from a modern mainframe system and how to provide great flexibility for client application and mainframe services developers.
    This session will give you an introduction to security tokens and recommend best practice when implementing token-based security in Zowe.

    • What is a token anyway
    • How tokens help to enhance API security and fuel cross-platform integration
    • What security tokens exist and what is their purpose
    • Token types used by Zowe API ML and how to choose between them
      • Working directly with SAF JWT token
      • Utilizing z/OSMF LTPA or JWT token
      • Seamlessly exchange .509 client certificate for a JWT
      • JWS signature
    • What tokens are not yet employed in the Zowe API ML ecosystem and the rationale for introducing them
      • Identity token
      • Refresh token

    Ambitus Project Webinar

    In this webinar, we will compare and contrast the open-source environments between Linux on Z, and z/OS. You will learn how much overlap, especially with containerized environments.

     

    We will also discuss the Ambitus project, which helps users with open source workloads specifically on z/OS:

    • A set of containerized workload examples that run on z/OS today
    • Common example tasks for running native (non-containerized) z/OS open source workloads.
    • Z Markup Language: a language-agnostic macro description format and tooling to generate high-level language specifications for control blocks that currently only have assembler bindings.

    Joe has spent his career enabling application development on the mainframe,
    from the early days of Unix Systems Services through the current open source
    era. He has spent several years as part of the Open Data Analytics development

    COBOL Training Course Project Webinar

    Most financial organizations, banks, insurance companies, retailers, and governments need systems that must flawlessly handle huge volumes of transactions every day. Mainframes have been quietly managing this process for decades as their reliability, availability, security, scalability, and performance are unparalleled. While these core systems run Java, Python, and other languages, part of these core systems is COBOL, a reliable, proven programming language that has helped run some of the most mission-critical services applications at the world’s largest companies. The OMP COBOL Programming Course aims to educate and train the next generation of COBOLers.

    Announcement of Open Mainframe Project initiatives to support COBOL needs in response to COVID-19

    John Mertic
     

    Open Mainframe Project members and community,

    We just announced today with support from Open Mainframe Project members Broadcom, IBM, Phoenix Software, Rocket Software, SUSE, Vicom Infinity, and Zoss Team, a series of initiatives to support the need for COBOL expertise in response to the COVID-19 crisis. Please see the blog announcement made below...

    https://www.openmainframeproject.org/blog/2020/04/09/open-mainframe-project-helps-fill-the-need-for-cobol-resources

    Please share the below social posts with your networks:


    As we all are members of the mainframe community, supporting each other in this time of need is critical. Each of you in the community has an opportunity to be a part of this by...

    - posting your availability for volunteer or work-for-hire work for state and local governments and other critical organizations in need with COBOL in the 'Calling all COBOL Programmers' topic on the OMP Community Forums ( https://community.openmainframeproject.org/c/calling-all-cobol-programmers/15 )
    - providing your expertise to others that are working on COBOL systems that are responding to the COVID-19 crisis in the 'COBOL technical questions' topic on the OMP Community Forums ( https://community.openmainframeproject.org/c/cobol-technical-questions/16 )

    Each and every one of us is a critical piece in helping overcome this global pandemic, and I know that the mainframe community is one to step up to the challenge. Thank you all for your dedication, and I look forward to working with you in this cause.

    Thank you,

    John Mertic
    Director of Program Management - Linux Foundation
