Mike Woster and Cameron Seay give an overview of the Open Mainframe Project

Mike Woster, Chief Revenue Officer of the Linux Foundation, defines the Open Mainframe Project as a collaboration hub for academic institutions, corporations, and community developers to solve some of the most challenging problems of our time.
The project spans four key areas:
Security
High availability
Performance
Scalability
Cameron Seay, faculty member at Florida State University, discusses how the project has both a research and business component and promises to deliver key insights about cutting edge applications running on the open mainframe.
The project aims to demonstrate how to use open source software on the mainframe and prove just how well it works.
