mailing list, or similar push-type scheme, for Z announcements similar to the "Accelerate" one for Storage

  • 1.  mailing list, or similar push-type scheme, for Z announcements similar to the "Accelerate" one for Storage

    Hi Enterprise Knights of Z,

    a colleague recently pointed me to the Accelerate mailing list, which is useful for gaining insight into recent developments in IBM Storage (Z and non-Z).  If you've not seen it and wish to, you can join via sending a note to "accelerate-join@hursley.ibm.com".

    My question:  is there such a thing for Z?  For example, what would have been the best way to automatically be notified of the recent z/OS 2.5 preview, perhaps with some collateral showing highlights such as the focus on zCX and automated software updates?

    kind regards,

    Peter Bishop

    Hi Peter,

    The IBM Community z/OS topic group has been posting quarterly continuous delivery updates. Their latest blog post describes z/OS V2.4 4Q2020 New Functions and Enhancements and they will be posting a blog regarding the Preview for IBM z/OS V2.5 around the end of the month. I'd be happy to update this discussion with a link to the upcoming Preview for IBM z/OS V2.5 blog once it's been posted.

    This Enterprise Knights of IBM Z user group will cover a variety of cyber security and resiliency topics. A number of the continuous delivery items from the preview are already covered in the lightning talks found in our library.

    You can join a group and subscribe to receiving emails on whichever frequency you prefer to get the latest updates on content posted in the group. If you've joined and would like to adjust the email frequency, you can click the gear icon in the top right corner of the header image to change that setting.

    Please feel free to ask any other questions you may have!

    Thank you,
    Sneha
