Today's Story Highlights

SIGGRAPH 2017: Virtual Reality Is Alive and Flourishing
The SIGGRAPH conference is a year event that focuses on the latest in
computer graphics and other interactive arts. It is a multidiscipline
show, mixing computer imaging with other physical creations. It is also
a crossroads for the film, video game, commercial, research and
education industries. It has a forward-looking vision while celebrating
the recent and not-so-recent past.

Alexa Can Make Music Echo All Through the House
Alexa has a new musical talent, Amazon announced Tuesday. "Today, we're
making Alexa even smarter with an all-new feature that lets you play
music synchronized on multiple Echo devices to provide room-filling
music throughout your home," said Amazon Alexa Vice President Toni Reid.
Setting up the syncing is easy. Using the Alexa app, you give a group of
devices a name, such as "first floor."

Congressional App Challenge Director: Get on Board the Tech Train
"Coding is one of the most in-demand skills. There's a myth out there
that you need to have this skill only if you work with computers, but as
society develops, you're going to see coding in every field. This is a
skill that's needed in all job sectors," said Rachel Décoste, director
of the Congressional App Challenge. "The jobs of tomorrow will require,
if not coding, at least an understanding of how it works."

Too Few Candidates to Fill Growing Number of Open Source Jobs
Open source hiring has been hampered by a lack of trained job-takers,
according to The Linux Foundation, which released its sixth annual
summary of career opportunities in open source last week. The report
provides an overview of open source career trends, along with factors
that motivate industry professionals, and methods employers use to
attract and retain qualified talent.
