MOE Git Involved Monthly Campaign

Three easy steps to get involved in open mainframe education

Git Involved is a monthly community campaign by Mainframe Open Education designed to make it easy—and welcoming—for anyone to participate in the open mainframe education ecosystem.

Whether you’re brand new to the mainframe, a student, educator, or experienced professional, Git Involved gives you simple, meaningful ways to contribute, learn, and connect. No prior open-source experience required.

By getting involved, you help shape open, accessible mainframe learning resources—and you become part of a global community passionate about growing the next generation of mainframe talent.
