Have you heard about Zowe? Wondering what it is, what it does, or why you would even want it? These are all fair questions, and I guess part of the answer is it's all still evolving. That's the funny thing about new and emerging technology: it's new and it's emerging.
So the first question is, What is Zowe? This is straight from the Zowe.org web site:
"Zowe is an open source project created to host technologies that benefit
the Z platform from all members of the Z community (Integrated Software
Vendors, System Integrators and z/OS consumers). Zowe, like Mac OS or
Windows, comes with a set of APIs and OS capabilities that applications
build on and also includes some applications out of the box.
Zowe offers modern interfaces to interact with z/OS and allows you to
work with z/OS in a way that is similar to what you experience on cloud
platforms today. You can use these interfaces as delivered or through
plug-ins and extensions that are created by clients or third-party
vendors."
Step 1 in learning about Zowe is go to the web site WWW.ZOWE.ORG. You will see a lot of information there about Zowe, how to get Zowe, and what is being done with Zowe. And yes, you read it right, Zowe is an open source effort across multiple vendors, including IBM.
FYI. IBM has made a recent announcement about Zowe (IBM Z Distribution for Zowe V1.0).

Upcoming IBM Z security seminar
Here's some information on an upcoming IBM Z security seminar on April 29th at 10 AM Eastern US.
Webinar: Security in a Remote Work World Secure Authentication &Compliance
With the mainframe as the backbone of the borderless digital economy, enabling security of IBM Z has never been more crucial. With today’s number of remote workers, this need is exacerbated. To extend the inherent security, scale and performance of your mainframe, IBM offers a way to help you authenticate everyone accessing mainframe resources even from remote work locations.
Today’s work from home environment means your workforce has to spend more time accessing your
systems from remote locations. This poses new and more frequent chances for malicious intervention from internal or external threats. Please join us for a complimentary webinar covering how to enable the right people to have the right access to the right resources from anywhere.
For more information or questions contact Julian Basey: julian.basey@ibm.com
Agenda
• Welcome and Intro
• Common Mainframe
Cybersecurity Threats
• Z Multi-Factor
Authentication Overview
• Z Multi-Factor

Many informative IBM Z events are going virtual!
With the many challenges of our current business and travel realities, the good news is we will be seeing many very informative virtual events. Through the miracles of technologies such as Webex and Zoom we can still very effectively interact and work together.
One of the things I plan to do is post information on interesting upcoming Z oriented virtual events. So if IBM Z is your area of interest, stay tuned to this space!
