If you're a student looking for a project in the June-August timeframe, Arsh Pratap and I are mentors for the Linux Foundation this time around for the Open Mainframe Project Software Discovery Tool!

And yes, Arsh was the *mentee* last summer. The student has become the master! 👏

Details about the work proposed are outlined here: https://mentorship.lfx.linuxfoundation.org/project/9aaaa048-baae-4ec7-aedd-5d3594dd95d8 #mainframe #zSystems #LinuxONE

The #Zowe and #COBOL from the are also participating, learn more in this blog post: https://www.openmainframeproject.org/blog/2023/05/08/omp-launches-applications-for-2023-summer-mentorships

Happy #Ubuntu 23.04 release day, @ubuntu pals!

You know what I'm here to say.

I know my mainframe crew tends to focus on LTS releases (this is not one), but there's s390x support in this release too! https://community.ibm.com/community/user/ibmz-and-linuxone/blogs/elizabeth-k-joseph1/2023/04/20/ubuntu-2304-for-ibm-zsystems-and-linuxone #mainframe #zSystems #LinuxONE
