Where are you speaking or attending?

  • 1.  Where are you speaking or attending?

    Posted Thu March 21, 2024 10:53 AM

    This week, we followed the activity of five IBM Champions speaking at the IBM TechCon event (way to go @Largou walid, @Thor Ingham, @Andre Wiradarma, @Joseph Westman, @Al Wagner). We are looking forward to @Ralf Roeber speaking in an upcoming Cognos REST API webinar. We're looking forward to connecting with 50-100 of you at IBM Think in May.

    Plus, we're looking at so many upcoming events (and deadlines for Call for sessions, from user groups to the IBM TechXchange call for sessions deadline on 30 April). But we know we're not catching ALL the places you're speaking and attending, from user groups to industry events. 

    So tell us: where are you headed? Will you be speaking? We want to follow along....

    Hi Libby,

    I would have loved to have been speaking at IBM Tech Con (just finished), which is squarely in my area, but never saw any call for papers, and indeed was barely aware of its existence until a few weeks out. It first made it into our newsletter in the February issue. I think the advertising on that one could have been better.

    I've submitted a session for IBM TechXchange (told you I would), so waiting to hear about that,

    I'm also on the agenda for GSE UK Virtual in late April.

    Nice to be back presenting again - seems like it has been a while.

    Cheers,
    Morag

    As you know, many of my engagements involve working with Universities, so I coordinated and spoke at an event at Illinois State University last month and spoke at the Chicago zCouncil about mainframe skills last week.  This week I am heading down to University of Illinois Springfield for a mainframe 60th anniversary event and an exciting announcement, and then my next conference will be SHARE in Kansas City if my session gets accepted.  October will be busy with the IBM Data Tech Summit at SVL, followed by the TechXchange in Vegas.

    On March 20, I was in charge of giving a talk on the use of Git+RPG using Visual Studio Code+Code for IBMi, for COMMON Iberia.
    It was a fantastic talk, there were about 45 people connected and I think it was a very interesting topic.

    This is the site on LinkedIn where you can see the event.

    I'll be co-presenting this material with 2 of the folks from IBM involved in this project at the VM Workshop in June at The Ohio State University, and have also submitted to share it solo at TXC.  

    By the time of these events, workloads running on a z17 should also be included.  Stay tuned.  This project has been a lot of fun, and is already starting to show some exciting results!  


    Title:   

    Optimizing the Value of Hybrid Clouds with zLOV 


    Abstract: 

    With a customer focused agenda, Velocity Software partnered with IBM's Washington System Center and Center of Excellence to help show the value behind running optimized workloads on IBM LinuxONE systems.  MongoDB and Oracle guest were built on a VMware based stack, along side running them on a LinuxONE 4 directly on bare metal, and under z/VM for some initial benchmarks.  The value of course goes beyond just how fast transactions can be processed.   We'll also be sharing the advantages realized for vertical over horizontal growth, the use of on-board AI processors, compression and the resulting sustainability for running a hybrid cloud with IBM's LinuxONE systems.
