Mainframes

Just a reminder that the 2019 VM Workshop at Virginia Commonwealth University approaches quickly (June 27-29). We are working diligently to make it a valuable educational event.

The VM Workshop Planning Committee needs you to participate in a very short Survey regarding Hands-on Labs at the Workshop. Your input will help us focus on the labs most meaningful to you, both at the upcoming Workshop and at future events.

SNA Principle Engineer Neale Ferguson has posted copies of the presentations from the September 2018 Hillgang gathering in Washington D.C.

The mainframe is a dinosaur, right? Not so says Cameron Seay, Assistant Professor at North Carolina Agricultural & Technical State University. In a lecture, posted on YouTube, Seay gives reasons why a career programming for mainframes is a smart decision.

Presentations from the 2017 VMWorkshop, including SNA engineer Neale Ferguson's Introduction to Docker & OpenShift, are now available to download. The conference took place June 22-24 in Columbus, Ohio.

In their sixth episode of our “I Am A Mainframer Interview Series,” Jeffrey Frey, of the Open Mainframe Project, interviews Sine Nomine engineer Neale Ferguson. A full recording of the interview as well as a transcript is available on the Open Mainframe Project website.

These presentations are from the April 2016, September 2016, and March 2017 meetings of the Hillgang Group, a Washington DC area mainframe user group.

The 2017 VM Workshop is only a dozen weeks away:

·         June 22 – 24, 2017

·         The Ohio State University in Columbus

·         Only $100 ($130 after April 30)
