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.

How can I get more women to work at my company??". It's not a bad question but I'm just a developer and have never worked in recruiting or D+I so it's not necessarily my area of expertise. That being said, with the acknowledgement that I have a large San Francisco/Bay Area bias since I've spent my entire career here, I have a few thoughts on how to attract and retain tech talent from underrepresented groups. ## 3 Takeaways from Point Nine's CTO Event on Scaling Up Tech and Tech Teams DevFeed: [3 Takeaways from Point Nine's CTO Event on Scaling Up Tech and Tech Teams]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: Moritz Dausinger Published: 2015-05-13T15:05:17Z Content type: opinion Language: en Sources: [eFounders]() Topics: [Development](), [Architecture & Design](), [Database](), [Microservice](), [ci]() Tags: [challenges](), [engineering](), [hiring](), [organizational](), [pipeline](), [scaling](), [tech-talent]() ### AI overview The article presents takeaways from Point Nine Capital's CTO event on scaling technology and engineering teams. It argues that organizational and managerial challenges often outweigh technical problems, and recommends maintaining a pipeline of technical talent. ### Source excerpt illustration by Adrien Griveau Last week, Point Nine Capital invited the CTOs and VPs of Engineering of their portfolio companies. The event took place in Google's offices in Berlin. I was flattered to get invited and had the opportunity of spending the day next to great people from famous startups such as Morten Primdahl, Co-founder and CTO at Zendesk, Spyros Magiatis, Founder and CTO at Workable, or Johannes Ziemke, Platform Engineer at Docker. Nicolas Wittenborn on Twitter Lots of brainpower in the room at the #p9techcircle thx to @GoogleDE for the great location! pic.twitter.com/yGTZJsxgL2 The agenda was quite packed with interesting topics around scaling tech and teams. You can find the complete agenda on this post written by Rodrigo Martinez, who did a fantastic job organising the event. Next to great tech-centric talks (e.g. Continuous Integration Best Practices by Florian Motlick, CTO at Codeship, Microservices by Andy Smith, CTO at Werker etc.), an important subject was hiring and scaling teams. In other words: a mix of the most important topics you need to know once you have traction. And as the CTO of one of eFounders' under-development startups, this really struck a chord. So here are my key takeaways from this meetup. Takeaway #1: The hardest problems when scaling up are most of the time non-tech problems The panel was called 'Best Practices on Scaling Tech', but after a couple of minutes of discussion, it became very clear that the bottleneck is mostly due to organizational challenges. Indeed, answers to well known technical problems such as how to scale a MySQL database are available most of the time. Despite all your preparation, be ready for your 3am emergency alert, stay focus, and you'll resolve the problem. No, your true challenges will come from human and managerial situations. Your job as a CTO is to have a working team in place which can perform, produce and scale with the success of the startup. Hiring tech talent is increasingly difficult an
