Will your open source project run on a mainframe? Or on a smartwatch?

SeaGL 2024

You probably developed your open source project for a single, “default” architecture like x86, but today there is considerable growth in other architectures, from ARM to mainframes to RISC-V. The talk will present some of the tools available to open source software developers to port their projects to other architectures.

Elizabeth K. Joseph is a Linux systems administrator who now leads the Open Source Program Office for IBM Z where she works with the community to explore Linux and z/OS workloads on mainframes. In the course of her career, she’s worked on Raspberry Pis and Sun SPARC systems, so working on non-x86 architectures full time was a natural fit. She has previously worked on distributed systems and has written books on Ubuntu and OpenStack.
