I've been heads-down a lot working on the #IBMZDay virtual conference coming up on October 18th.

I'm leading the #Sustainability track, because I like Earth 🌎 (ok, actually because it's a lot of #Linux 🐧). But it's been fascinating to watch all the #hybridcloud, #AI, & #data talks starting to populate the schedule we're crafting too!

The schedule is still in the works, but we just launched registration, it's free: https://ibm.biz/ibmzday-2023

Last month I was super focused on the Open #Mainframe Project Summit CFP, but now I'm on to another, the CFP for IBM zDay!

As always (since our launch of the event in 2019), it's a virtual event, and free. The CFP is open through July 31st: https://community.ibm.com/community/user/ibmz-and-linuxone/blogs/mingmay-pang2/2023/06/29/ibm-zday-call-for-papers-submission-deadline

I'm one of the leads for the Sustainability track, but I'm part of the core team that takes a look at everything, so please, propose your best mainframe breakthroughs, tutorials, and creative ideas! #IBMzDay #IBMZ #LinuxONE

In 2019 I joined IBM and the team I was on ran our first #IBMzDay. As a virtual event already, we had a head start on the years ahead 😆

So we've had them every year! And every year it's grown! The CFP for the 2023 edition is now open 🎙️

If you want to catch my attention, submit something about #Linux or #OpenSource on #mainframes, since those are the proposals I'll be reviewing 📚
