TAC Projects

Open Mainframe Project TAC is a resource for open source projects supporting or looking to support mainframe, as well as a home for open source projects specifically targetting the mainframe. The TAC ensures that projects targeting the mainframe have the support they need to be successful, with flexability on governance and licensing to ensure the community can operate and grow successfully.

Below are some of the projects supported by the TAC, listed by project stage.

The processes and policies for the TAC to manage incoming projects and project stages to be hosted by the Open Mainframe Project, as well as guidelines for projects, are in the process section.

There are many more mainframe-centric open source projects than what is hosted at Open Mainframe Project; check out the list and add any we are missing at the Open Mainframe Project Landscape

Meetings

Meetings are scheduled the second Thursday of each month at 1pm ET and are open to anyone interested in participating in the project.

You can review past meeting notes and the calendar of meetings.

For the next TSC meeting, you can propose agenda items either via email to the TAC, or as a pull request against those meeting notes.
