Open Mainframe Project is a project managed by the Linux Foundation to encourage the use of Linux-based operating systems and open source software on mainframe computers. The project was announced in August 2015 and was mainly driven by IBM, a major supplier of mainframe hardware.[1] Coinciding with the announcement, IBM also announced a partnership with Canonical to make the Ubuntu operating system available for mainframe hardware.[2][3][4][5]

Development priorities for the project in 2016 include OpenJDK, Docker and Hyperledger.[6]
