Linux Foundation to blaze a path forward for mainframes
Open-source software development will be a key component to keeping the mainframe a vibrant part of current and future enterprise architectures.
With that in mind the Open Mainframe Project, part of the Linux Foundation, this week said at its Open Mainframe Summit that it was forming a working group to promote mainframe-modernization efforts and that it had acqured its own Big Iron to spur future development.
The working group will create a common definition and framework defining what mainframe modernization should look like and promote open-source development on the Big Iron.
