    Hello all!

    Here you can see a list that I've started highlighting additional resources and user groups that the typical New to Z'er may find helpful. Please add to the discussion with links to what you find most helpful!


    What other groups are you a part of as a mainframer!?

    If you're exploring the Linux side (like me!) the LINUX-390 ListServ hosted at Marist College can be a bit tricky to discover, but it's indispensable for community support: http://www2.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?linux-390 (scroll down past the archive links to sign up).

    If you are looking for open source software available in Linux on Z (IBM Z or LinuxONE) this catalog points you to where to download, build instructions, scripts and other recommendation.  The IBM Z Ecosystem team has ported and/or validated this large list.

    http://www.ibm.com/community/z/open-source-software/

    For even a larger list of open source software available on Z (more than 4,000) go to Docker Hub https://hub.docker.com/search?q=&type=image&architecture=s390x
