It says AI is associated with projected net IT hiring growth of 54% in 2026 and 35% in 2027, while Japan has a strongly positive entry-level hiring effect of 46% compared with a global figure of -2%. ### Source excerpt At the Linux Foundation, our community thrives because of the dedicated work of developers, project maintainers, enterprise partners, platform engineers, and generous sponsors worldwide. On behalf of the team at LF Research, I want to extend our heartfelt thanks to all of our global sponsors and partners whose continued support makes our research, open source initiatives, and educational programs possible. ## Linux Foundation Newsletter: August 2026 DevFeed: [Linux Foundation Newsletter: August 2026]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: andrewb@proximabiz.com (The Linux Foundation) Published: 2026-08-12T21:05:19Z Content type: article Language: en Sources: [Linux Foundation - Blog]() Topics: [Linux](), [linux foundation](), [Artificial Intelligence](), [Model Context Protocol](), [Cloud](), [AWS Transform]() Tags: [2026](), [ai](), [blog](), [careers](), [cloud](), [education](), [events](), [lf-europe](), [lf-events](), [lf-research](), [linux](), [linux-blog](), [linux-foundation](), [mcp](), [newsletter](), [open-source](), [open-source-summit](), [project-news](), [projects](), [report](), [tech-talent]() ### AI overview The Linux Foundation's August 2026 newsletter highlights its 35th anniversary and a training discount, then summarizes developments across open source, AI, cloud native, edge computing, cybersecurity, research, events, and technical projects. It covers the Tokenomics Foundation, MCP integrations and MCP 728, a military-drone interoperability hackathon, research about Japan's developer and tech talent markets, and upcoming Open Source Summit Europe. ### Source excerpt Welcome to the August 2026 edition of the Linux Foundation Newsletter The Linux Foundation is celebrating 35 years of Linux, and training is discounted through August 18. Use code TUX35 for 35% off certifications, courses, and bundles across cloud, AI, cybersecurity, and more. Beyond the discount, five things stand out this month. The Linux Foundation launched the Tokenomics Foundation, backed by more than 30 organizations, to build vendor-neutral standards for tracking the cost and ROI of AI. FINOS released Fluxnova 3.0 and FDC3 3.0, both adding MCP integration so AI agents can execute financial workflows directly. AAIF shipped MCP 728, a stateless version of the protocol that no longer needs a session handshake, and celebrated the launch with 475 people across 7 events in 6 cities. The Dronecode Foundation ran a hackathon in Manassas, Virginia, where 14 companies, including direct competitors, completed 7 working integrations of MAVLink-Military, a new open interoperability standard for military drones and payloads. And a wave of AI-and-infrastructure research landed at once: a CNCF and SlashData report puts Japan's cloud native developer community at nearly a million, LF Edge published its State of the Edge 2026 report on edge computing in the AI era, and a new tech talent report shows AI is a net job creator in Japan even as companies struggle to find full-stack-ready hires. You'll also find open calls for two LF Research surveys, a new LF Research report, registration open for Open Source Summit Europe in Prague (October 7-9), and project news spanning agentic AI, telecom, mainframe, geospatial, and safety-critical software. >> Read on for even more news, research, and opportunities from across the Linux Foundation. ## Linux Foundation Newsletter: July 2026 DevFeed: [Linux Foundation Newsletter: July 2026]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: andrewb@proximabiz.com (The Linux Foundation) Published: 2026-07-15T21:09:02Z Content type: news Language: en Sources: [Linux Foundation - Blog]() Topics: [linux foundation](), [Open Source](), [Cloud Native Ecosystem](), [Kubernetes](), [Artificial Intelligence](), [Cybersecurity](), [Mainframe]() Tags: [2026](), [ai](), [blog](), [careers](), [cloud-native](), [cybersecurity](), [education](), [events](), [kubernetes](), [lf-europe](), [lf-events](), [lf-research](), [linux](), [linux-blog](), [linux-foundation](), [news](), [newsletter](), [open-source](), [open-source-summit](), [project-news](), [projects](), [reports](), [tech-talent]() ### AI overview The Linux Foundation's July 2026 newsletter covers a training and certification promotion, upcoming open source events including KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Japan, research surveys and reports, and project news across agentic AI, telecom APIs, mainframe, geospatial, and safety-critical software.
