Open Mainframe Summit 2022

The creation, curation and consumption of Mainframe education happens all the time, but how do you bring existing efforts together in a way that benefits the Mainframe community, reduces critical skills gaps, and makes existing resources readily available? Mainframe Open Education, a project under the Open Mainframe Project (OMP), is bringing community members together from every corner, empowering them to embrace the stewardship of Mainframe open education resources that will help to cultivate Mainframe knowledge, onboard new talent, and provide a place where Mainframe experts share and consume knowledge. Join the conversation to learn more about this community partnership and how you can participate.

In this panel discussion, moderator Hartanto Widjaya, a student and COBOL Programming Course TSC member will talk to the next generation of COBOLers. All three of our panelists, Caitlin Mooney, Jade Walker and Angie Mejia have taken the COBOL Programming Course and explored the language. They will share and highlight about the learning points they have obtained from this critical business application programming language, discuss the pros and cons of the language as they see it and showcase their newly earned skills. You don’t want to miss this opportunity to meet this next generation on COBOLers - who will be driving the world’s economy with their code!
