In September of this year, both
IBM z15
and
the IBM Z and LinuxONE Community
will turn a year old, and in that short amount of time, the Community has ballooned to over
5,000
members and has consistently been one of the fastest-growing and most engaged communities on our site month to month. I want to say thank you to the countless developers, programmers, and system administrators for being a part of this first year's journey, and to the
IBM
Z team for being committed to the principles of open in both technology and Community. A year later, as
IBM
Z continues it's near 60 year run of mainframe innovation and develops as a cornerstone of any complete
hybrid multi-cloud strategy, the IBM Z and LinuxO
NE
Community is as relevant and vibrant as ever.
Aligned with these dual one year anniversaries, I'm excited to announce that after their amazing success last year, the
IBM
Z team will produce
the second annual IBM Z Day
- a free one-day virtual conference with over
50
sessions across
five
tracks where we'll once again have the opportunity to engage with this incredible Community. At IBM Z Day 2019
where I had the privilege to be both an attendee and speaker
, over 3,000 registrants got front row seats to the premier virtual
IBM
Z event of the year, and I hope to see you as some of the greatest minds around IBM Z come together once again.
In IBM Z & LinuxONE GM Ross Ma
u
ri's blog
, he speaks lucidly and candidly about the breaking down of the silos that exist in today's IT world to create an environment ripe for innovation and collaboration. From a Community perspective, this is what we're all about - breaking down silos that separate our disparate interests, careers, and circumstances to create, share and learn better together. This is our commitment and mission every day, and IBM Z Day 2020 is another chance for us to live up to those values.
Among all the incredible sessions we have planned, you can also look forward to keynotes from myself
and my experienced and decorated peers, including:
GM for IBM Z & LinuxONE -
Ross Mauri
GM & Chief Developer Advocate -
Willie Tejada
VP, IBM Z Ecosystem -
Meredith Stowell
I can't wait to see you all on September 15th and to continue to growing together into another year.
