Project NACA: automated migration from Mainframe ... - Jazoon

Driving principles - 2
> Keep the existing crew
– such a migration can't happen against the "legacy" people
– trying to oppose the young wolves of OSS to the old crocodiles of
mainframe is the worst idea
– legacy crew knows the old system best: teach them the new set of
commands for Linux Java (they want to learn it…) and they 'll deliver
the same service afterwards!
– just inject some young OSS guys to assist and transfer the required
competences
> Build the new system bottom up:
– system engineers can learn OSS on their "own stuff" (printing
subsystem, storage, etc…) and get comfortable
– when they feel good, they are ready to discuss with / support
developers and host user applications
