Meeting Agenda:
9:00 AM ISV Update Linux on System z
Andrew D. Schmidt will provide information
relating to availability of ISV applications on
Linux for System z, and where to find information
on what applications are available.
Additionally, Andrew will overview the various
IBM enabling/porting programs that ISVs can
use. Knowledge of these programs allow you, the
end user, to be able to understand how IBM can
help ISVs support your needed applications on the System z platform
The speaker will be Andrew D. Schmidt, Linux for
System z Independent Software Vendor (ISV) Program Manager.
10:30 AM Coffee Break
11:00 AM CA z/VM Products Implement VMSES/E
CA has a history of acquiring products and along
with that, installation and service
methods. When every vendor has its own method
and some companies like CA have multiple methods,
it can be a burden to learn and remember all
the different procedures to install, upgrade and
service products. To help simplify matters, CA
is implementing IBM VMSES/E as the method to be
used to install, upgrade and service z/VM system
products. Brian Jagos will give an overview of
how CA ultimately decided to use VMSES/E and how it works with CA products.
The speaker will be Brian Jagos of CA.
12:15 PM Lunch Break
1:15 PM Administration and Vendor Announcements
1:30 PM Linux on z Update
The speaker will present a brief update of recent
developments in the Linux under z/VM area.
The speaker will be Paul Augustyniak of the IBM Corporation.
1:45 PM Coming Releases of CA VM Tools and Future Roadmap
CA remains committed to delivering and enhancing
products for securing and managing z/VM
systems. Some changes further CAs
Mainframe 2.0 strategy for simplifying product
management itself, some help users take advantage
of technical advances in the operating system and
available hardware, and others address customer
requests for features and enhancements. Brian
Jagos will give a glimpse of z/VM product
enhancements coming soon, and also shares CAs
roadmap for longer-term features and enhancements.
The speaker will be Brian Jagos of CA.
3:00 PM Coffee Break and Prize Drawing
3:30 PM Managing the Mainframe: The Ultimate Private Cloud
Mainframers have been using virtual machines,
time-sharing, and managing multitenancy systems
for years. Add to this the flexibility of the new
zEnterprise hybrid architecture, and you have the
hardware infrastructure for the ultimate private
cloud. We at CA Technologies would like to
engage you on our strategic thoughts on Cloud
Computing and zEnterprise and how they intersect
to help you leverage your mainframe assets in
complex enterprise integration initiatives to
lower costs, while continuing to offer the
highest quality of service. See how innovative
cloud solutions such as CA 3Tera AppLogic can
help you simplify application composition,
deployment and integration across your z/VM,
Linux on System z, z/OS systems and distributed systems.
The speaker will be Scott Fagen, CA Technologies, Distinguished Engineer.
4:45 PM Free-for-All
Members will attempt to answer any reasonable VM
or hardware related questions. If you are having
a problem and want to find out if others are
experiencing it, or you are installing new
hardware or software and want to find out what

Members are encouraged to bring ideas for future
presentations and speakers to this meeting.
