• Linux is back on top as the most in-demand open source skill category, making it required knowledge for most entry-level open source careers.
  
• Containers are rapidly growing in popularity and importance, with 57% of hiring managers seeking that expertise, up from only 27% last year.
  
• There’s a gulf between the views of hiring managers and IT pros on the effectiveness of efforts to improve diversity in the industry.
