I had dinner with Jeff Nick (IBM Fellow for Z) back in ’99. He shared that Open Edition was initially started to get Posix compliance in MVS as it was a requirement for Federal data centers to only support Posix compliant OS’. I don’t think anyone envisioned the criticality of that new subsystem to the longevity of the z/OS platform.
I think the incorporation of containers in z/OS, zCX and K8s are the next revolution in z/OS. Long live z/OS. > On Jan 22, 2025, at 7:09 AM, Mark Jacobs > <00000224d287a4b1-dmarc-requ...@listserv.ua.edu> wrote: > > I remember installing it in the 1995-1996 time range right after I began > working for Time Customer Service. > > Mark Jacobs > > Sent from ProtonMail, Swiss-based encrypted email. > > GPG Public Key - > https://api.protonmail.ch/pks/lookup?op=get&search=markjac...@protonmail.com > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
