The Linux Foundation and Dice have announced the results of the 2013
Linux Jobs Survey & Report. Nearly 1000 hiring managers and 2600
Linux professionals were surveyed. " Tech is in, but nowhere is the opportunity for career advancement and big financial reward more evident than in the Linux jobs market where salaries for skilled Linux talent are rising at nearly double the rate of other tech professionals."

The Creative Commons has announced the
posting of the third and final draft of the 4.0 license suite and the
beginning of the last comment period. " In this third discussion
period, we will be returning our attention to ShareAlike compatibility, the
centerpiece of our interoperability agenda. We will take a harder look at
the mechanism necessary to permit one-way compatibility out from BY-SA to
other similarly spirited licenses like GPLv3, and whether one-way
compatibility is, in fact, desired."

Linaro has announced
the formation of the Linaro Networking Group (LNG), with twelve
founding members. " With ARM-based SoCs at the heart of the transformation occurring in cloud and mobile infrastructure applications such as switching, routing, base-stations and security, Linaro’s members are collaborating on fundamental software platforms to enable rapid deployment of new services across a range of converged infrastructure platforms. Developing the base platform for diverse and complex networking applications requires a significant amount of software that addresses common challenges. LNG will deliver this as an enhanced core Linux platform for networking equipment. Linaro has been providing common core software for ARM-Powered®, Linux-based mobile devices since June 2010 with recognized success, and it is now building on the collaborative working model that it has created to form special groups focusing on the server and networking segments."

The Python Software Foundation (PSF) has announced that the trademark on "Python" is at risk in the European Union. A company called Veber has applied for a community trademark on Python " for all software, services, servers... pretty much anything having to do with a computer". The PSF is looking for help in opposing the application: " According to our London counsel, some of the best pieces of evidence we can submit to the European trademark office are official letters from well-known companies 'using PYTHON branded software in various member states of the EU' so that we can 'obtain independent witness statements from them attesting to the trade origin significance of the PYTHON mark in connection with the software and related goods/services.' We also need evidence of use throughout the EU." (Thanks to Ben Boeckel and Sebastian Pipping.)

Upcoming Events
Akademy, the KDE community summit, will be hosting the Qt Contributor Summit during the week of July 13-19 in Bilbao, Spain. " A combined conference makes sense. There are many strong personal ties and working relationships among KDE and Qt contributors. Meeting face-to-face will be productive for both projects. 'As part of both the Qt and KDE communities, I've seen how the two have benefited from each other. In the last year and a half, the pace picked up when many KDE developers started working on Qt and certain features inspired by KDE were proposed and accepted into Qt 5. Akademy and the Qt Contributor Summit co-hosting this year means the two communities will have a much bigger opportunity for cross-pollination of ideas.' Thiago Macieira, Qt Core Maintainer, Software Architect at Open Source Technology Center, Intel Corporation." The core Akademy talks will be on Saturday and Sunday (July 13-14), while the Qt Contributor Summit will be "unconference" style in parallel with the Akademy Birds of a Feather (BoF) sessions on Monday and Tuesday (July 15-16).
