Industry Veterans Partner to Create a School for Software Engineers
Another interesting angle is that during their first year at school all projects except their own, if they decide otherwise, must be open sourced online on the repository of their choice (such as GitHub).
"Open source is a great option for teaching students because it not only helps you in building new skills as as software engineers, but also you know how to communicate with your peers. You have to understand how the team is working among many things. So I think open source is a great way to learn software engineering," added Barbier.
Because the Linux Foundation also runs many specialized courses, I asked whether the school had any plans to collaborate with the Foundation. I was told that, although they are in touch with the Linux Foundation, it's too early to comment on it.

Mozilla to Bar Many Legacy Plug-ins in Firefox By End of 2016
As we've reported several times, Google has been introducing big changes in its Chrome browser, especially when it comes to how the browser handles extensions.

Mozilla, like the Chrome team, is also focused on the effect that extensions have on performance and reliability.

Senior said he was confident the trust would be able to meet a timeline for completing development of an e-prescribing service in line with aims for a 'paperless NHS' by 2018.
