To address evolving Data and Storage needs throughout the industry, SODA Foundation, in partnership with Linux Foundation Research, is once again conducting a survey to provide insights into challenges, gaps, and trends for data and storage in the era of cloud native, edge, AI, and 5G. The results will serve to guide the SODA Foundation technical direction and ecosystem. With this survey, we seek to answer:

• What are the data & storage challenges faced by end users?
• What are the key trends shaping the data & storage industry?
• Which open source data & storage projects are users interested in?
• What cloud strategies are being adopted by businesses?

Through new insights generated from the data and storage community, end users will be better equipped to make decisions, vendors can improve their products, and the SODA Foundation can establish new technical directions — and beyond!

Please participate now; we intend to close the survey in August.

Privacy and confidentiality are important to us. Neither participant names, nor their company names, will be displayed in the final results. 

This survey should take no more than 15 minutes of your time.

 The first-ever in-person Summit will focus on security, training, AI, Linux on Z and Cloud Native  and will be accessible online for attendees around the world

SAN FRANCISCO, July 13, 2022 – The Open Mainframe Project, an open source initiative that enables collaboration across the mainframe community to develop shared tool sets and resources, announces the schedule for the 3rd annual Open Mainframe Summit, which will be in-person in Philadelphia, PA, and streaming online for global attendees. This year’s theme focuses on security, which is top of mind for every company that uses mainframes.

Critical enterprise systems are more connected than ever, which means vulnerabilities have increased. In fact, according to The Essential Holistic Security Strategy, a recent report by Forrester Consulting, commissioned by Open Mainframe Project Silver Member BMC, 81 percent of organizations surveyed are prioritizing the integration of security functions and improving security detection and response.

This year will highlight security as it relates to all aspects of mainframes and beyond including cloud native services, automation, software supply chain management and more. The Summit will also highlight projects such as Zowe and COBOL, education and training topics that will offer seasoned professionals, developers, students and thought leaders an opportunity to share best practices and network with like-minded individuals.

Some of the security sessions include:

• Integrate the Mainframe into Your Broader IT Security Strategy – Misty Decker, Director of Product Marketing, Micro Focus
• Safe Cloud Native Services in the World of Zero Trust – Alan Clark, Member of the CTO Office, SUSE
• Managing Open Source Vulnerabilities on Mainframe – Emre Tunar, Director of Software Engineering – Mainframe Security, Broadcom
• A Framework to Automate Cybersecurity Controls and Regulatory Controls on IBM zSystems and LinuxOne environments – Pradeep Parameshwaran, Lead Architect, Security and Compliance on IBM Z and LinuxONE

Additionally, David Wheeler, Open Source Supply Chain Security Director at the Linux Foundation, will also give a keynote.  

Other highlights include:

• Customer Success Stories Incorporating Zowe in Their z/OS Transformation and Modernization Journeys – Joe Winchester, Senior Technical Staff Member, IBM
• Meet the Future of COBOL – Hartanto Ario Widjaya, Singapore Management University; Caitlin Mooney, Student Mentor, New Jersey Institute of Technology; Jade Walker, ZDP Trainee, M&T Bank; and Angie Rositilia Mejia, Student, East Carolina University
• The New Workforce: Integrating the Next Generation with the Greatest Generation – Spencer Hallman, Lead Product Manager, BMC
• How to Monitor and Manage Mainframe and Storage Performance Metrics Utilizing Voice and OpenSource Software Tools – Justin Santer, Application Developer and Software Engineer; Vincent Terrone, Senior Enterprise Solutions Architect;  John Wolfgang, Senior Storage Systems Architect; and Len Santalucia, CTO, Vicom Infinity, A Converge Company
• Zowe Reaches Orbit, Now What Mission Control (keynote) – Peter Wassel, Director of Product Management, DevOps and Open Mainframe; George DeCandio, Chief Technology Officer; Broadcom
• Demystified: Put Your Web App on the Zowe Desktop in a Flash – Robert Blum, Senior Software Developer, Phoenix Software International

Following the upstream discussions over -O3'ing the Linux kernel last month I ran some fresh benchmarks of the Linux kernel built with -O2 versus -O3. After the -O3 optimized kernel build results weren't too impressive, a number of Phoronix readers were virtually shouting that "-O3 -march=native" is where it's at for fun and performance... To appease those even though in the past it hasn't proven worthwhile and upstream kernel developers are against it, here are those numbers...
