cross-post to COLUG and OSU OSC<br>
<br>
This note is not specifically Linux, but my world is heavily "Linux
on z" (mainframe). SHARE is the original users group, terribly IBM
centric, but for some attendees is as enjoyable/useful as OLF is for
us. <br>
<br>
I am not attending the conference, but am following it closely this
go-round. Some topics of personal interest include SystemD and KVM.
The "LVM" project at the SHARE conference is "Linux and VM" (meaning
z/VM; details omitted). If any of the topics covered spark interest
in a COLUGger or two, do let me know. OSU OSC people may land in
related work after graduation, so here is a glimpse of that playing
field. <br>

Background: <br>
<br>
SHARE began in 1955. When I first knew of it, there was a lot of
involvement; began attending the conference when working at a
university in Texas. <br>
<br>
Other "projects" at this conference include operating systems z/OS
(aka MVS, mainframe stereotype) and AIX (so is not exclusively
mainframe HW). Other MF op sys include VSE and TPF. (Solaris was
ported to mainframe, but no longer active.) Systems such as CICS and
JES and MQ and Websphere are non-op-sys environments "up stack". IMS
and DB2 are databases. <br>
