Pixar, Adobe, Apple, Autodesk, and NVIDIA Form Alliance for OpenUSD to Drive Open Standards for 3D Content
Pixar, Adobe, Apple, Autodesk, and NVIDIA, together with the Joint Development Foundation (JDF), an affiliate of the Linux Foundation, today announced the Alliance for OpenUSD (AOUSD) to promote the standardization, development, evolution, and growth of Pixar’s Universal Scene Description technology.
The alliance seeks to standardize the 3D ecosystem by advancing the capabilities of Open Universal Scene Description (OpenUSD). By promoting greater interoperability of 3D tools and data, the alliance will enable developers and content creators to describe, compose, and simulate large-scale 3D projects and build an ever-widening range of 3D-enabled products and services.

Linux Foundation Training & Certification Teams with Republic of Trinidad and Tobago’s Ministry of Digital Transformation
Linux Foundation Training and Certification has teamed up with the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago’s Ministry of Digital Transformation to provide eLearning courses and IT certification opportunities as part of the Ministry’s Developers’ Hub Initiative, branded as D’Hub.
[...]
“I believe that education changes lives and, as a fellow TT national, I’m confident that this initiative, along with the Foundation’s support, will have a direct, positive impact on the citizens of T&T,” said Clyde Seepersad, SVP and General Manager, Linux Foundation Training & Certification. “It is an honor for me and the Foundation to be able to assist the Ministry, the country and its citizens through open source tech education with these scholarships.”
At present, D'Hub enables, supports and hosts the collaborative efforts of local developers – individual developers, small development teams and micro-enterprises. Eventually, the services will be offered to secondary school students. At the moment, it is open to anyone aged 18 and older. Quarterly release plans are in place to continually expand the platform and increase accessibility for all nationals.

Misleading coverage:
-
Microsoft, Linux licences evince emerging best practices in licensing AI technologies [Ed: Complete propaganda. Also does not distinguish between LF and Linux. IAM, the EPO's propaganda rag, posting complete nonsense. They don't even know what "Linux" is.]
-
Apple joins alliance with Adobe, Linux, and more to support Pixar’s OpenUSD for 3D scene technology [Ed: No connection to Linux, and moreover this title conflates LF with "Linux"]
Apple teams up with industry leaders to enhance OpenUSD, Pixar's 3D scene technology. The Alliance for OpenUSD aims to standardise the 3D ecosystem, enabling efficient 3D project development across industries.
