Only 39 out of more than 100 empirical studies on developer experience actually connected DevEx improvements to business outcomes and KPIs.

In a new blog, Ana Jiménez Santamaría of the Linux Foundation highlights the gaps in developer experience, and what managers can learn from Optimizing Developer Experience for High Engineering Performance, described in detail in a report by Dr. Ibrahim Haddad.

The report identifies three improvement pillars: streamline workflows and reduce bureaucracy, invest in integrated tools and infrastructure, and build a supportive culture. Ana also applies the framework to agent-assisted development, arguing that as developers increasingly work through AI agents, the same questions apply: do those agents have the guidance, tools, and access they need to get the work done?

Join YugabyteDB and The Linux Foundation for a complimentary live webinar on Tuesday, October 20 at 9:00 AM PT: "How Context Works for Long-Running Agents: From Cold Start to Resume".

Every agent session starts cold. Compaction drops the early decisions, a system crash loses your spot, and the next run (or the next agent) has to re-derive what was happening.

This webinar will share what teams are converging on for agents that outlive their context window. Keeping state outside the window, handing off before it fills up, and verifying when resuming the work the next day. We will show how a coding agent hits its limit mid-task and hands off to a second agent on another coding harness, which picks up the previous task without needing to reopen settled decisions or retry rejected fixes.

We will discuss agentic context handoff through an agent skill as well as through a deterministic harness hook.

You will also see how both flows can break, so you can leave the session able to identify a successful and accurate way to resume work with your LLM.

Questions this webinar answers:
- What context does a long-running agent need to keep between sessions?
- Where should state be stored so a different agent, tool, or person can resume from it?
- When should an agent hand off, and how do you decide?
- Skill or hook: what makes an agent capable of handoff, and what makes it reliable?
- How do you verify a resumed agent is working from real context?

In her latest blog, Hilary Carter, SVP of Research at the Linux Foundation, shares findings from the 2026 State of OSPOs and Open Source Management report, released with the TODO Group at Open Source Summit Europe.

OSPOs are reaching new organizational stability, with 57% staying in the same organizational home for 2 to 3 years running. The Asia-Pacific region is leading the next wave of growth, with 20% of organizations planning an OSPO, double the rate seen in the Americas and Europe.
On AI, OSPOs are focused on real risk: licensing and IP concerns (65%), security vulnerabilities (65%), and data privacy (59%) top the list of what they manage.

AI agent capability is no longer the gate. Organizational readiness is.

In a new blog, Irving Wladawsky-Berger, MIT Fellow and former IBM executive, writes about LF Research's report "Enterprise Transitions to the Agentic Era," based on interviews with 25 leaders, founders, and operators across Linux Foundation communities.

The central shift: as AI moves from generating recommendations to taking action, governance can no longer rely on retrospective audits. Enterprises need real-time policy enforcement, clear identity and authorization for agents, usage attribution, and immutable audit trails before giving agents meaningful autonomy. Accountability also stays with the organization deploying an agent, not the AI itself, even as multi-agent handoffs make that harder to trace.

Energy grids, water systems, and transportation networks are built to run for decades. The software behind them usually isn't.

Hilary Carter, SVP of Research at the Linux Foundation, writes about a new report marking 10 years of the Civil Infrastructure Platform (CIP), exploring how open source collaboration turns a shared maintenance burden into a manageable baseline for the entire industrial sector.

Drawing on conversations with engineers at Cybertrust Japan, Renesas, Siemens, Texas Instruments, and Toshiba, the report surfaces four recommendations for the next decade:

▪️ Shift from passive software consumption to active governance
▪️ Build in security by design
▪️ Mutualize regulatory risk through shared frameworks
▪️ Align more closely with silicon suppliers on hardware lifecycles.
