By trade, I am a mainframe systems programmer at a large financial institution. My group is responsible for mainframe operating systems: z/OS (it may also be referred to as MVS), z/VM (the mainframe hypervisor), and z/Linux (Linux on a mainframe) and many of the software components that go along with these.
I'm really excited about this announcement. I think IBM finally realized they need to be more open if they want to grow the Linux on z community. I just hope they are not too late to the game.
There's a lot of mystery and misconception behind mainframes, so I am happy to answer any questions about mainframes that I can.
