DESCRIPTION:In spite of Linux running on the platform for 25 years\, the m
 ainframe community is notoriously proprietary. Organizations operating on 
 the platform are particularly security conscious and dependent upon vendor
 s for support and fixes. Fortunately\, in the past several years we’ve b
 uilt a thriving open source community that subverts the status quo. Are we
  the only ones?\n\nThis talk will cover how a handful of open source consc
 ious community members have built up successful open source communities in
  the film\, automotive\, and mainframe-driven industries\, and driven adop
 tion across their respective industries.\n\nStrategies include identifying
  tools that member organizations wanted to collaborate on\, launching vend
 or-neutral foundations with support from the Linux Foundation\, the ASF or
  others\, celebrating projects and community members\, and learning best o
 pen source practices from organizations like the TODO Group.\n\nBased on t
 hese experiences and interviews with contributors\, this talk concludes wi
 th a checklist of strategies and key things to keep in mind when building 
 out communities that are more resistant to open source\, but which can gre
 atly benefit from it.
