| schestowitz[TR2] | "The Linux Kernel team is finalizing “Kernel Guidelines for Tool [AI] Generated Content”. | Nov 17 01:50 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | A few key things to know: | Nov 17 01:50 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | - Usage of AI systems (including “chatbots”) is going to be officially allowed in all aspects of Linux Kernel development (including writing new code and generating change logs). | Nov 17 01:50 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | - AI code can be treated, by reviewers, “like any other contribution”. | Nov 17 01:50 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | - Code reviewers can now “suggest a better [AI chatbot] prompt” instead of suggesting better code. | Nov 17 01:50 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | - These guidelines have been reviewed and approved by the key kernel leadership. | Nov 17 01:50 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | - There is already AI generated code in the Linux Kernel. | Nov 17 01:50 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | “Kernel contributors have been using tooling to generate contributions for a long time.” | Nov 17 01:50 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | "The new slogan from the Python Software Foundation is “Python is for EVERYONE.” | Nov 17 01:51 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | As part of that marketing campaign, Python has been posting pictures to social media. | Nov 17 01:51 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Those pictures, of “everyone” Python is for, include: | Nov 17 01:51 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | 12 black women. | Nov 17 01:51 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | 4 black men. | Nov 17 01:51 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | … And that’s it. | Nov 17 01:51 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | No white people. No Asians. Just 16 black people (predominantly women). | Nov 17 01:51 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Now, I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that black women probably do not account for 75% of Python developers. | Nov 17 01:51 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | I then scrolled through the last few months of Python social media posts — just to see if this was a fluke — and eventually found ONE posted picture which added to the “diversity” of “everyone”: | Nov 17 01:51 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | 1 gay white guy being ridden by an inflatable unicorn. | Nov 17 01:51 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | What all of this means… I’ll leave as an exercise for the reader." | Nov 17 01:51 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | The President has tabled in the General Consultative Committee (GCC) meeting of 17 November a document on “Review report on the salary adjustment”. | Nov 17 16:22 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | The consultation was substandard. PD4.3 made high-level a presentation in a first technical meeting on 17 October 2025 and refused to provide a copy of the slides. On 22 October, a second technical meeting took place during which the Compensation & Benefits could not share the draft CA document CA/79/25 making any exchange on the content impossible.

| schestowitz[TR2] | advance to discuss it. | Nov 17 16:22 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | This new salary adjustment procedure has, for the first time ever in the history of the EPO produced a systemic unequal treatment of staff in the different places of employment by not respecting the | Nov 17 16:22 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | purchasing power parities. | Nov 17 16:22 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Over the period 2020-2025, Germany has even seen more severe capping than other places of employment creating lasting damage to the comparative purchasing power. Overall, all places of employment lost purchasing power in contradiction with the promises made by the President in 2020. | Nov 17 16:22 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | The average salary growth only reached -0.2% below Eurozone inflation and should be put in perspective with the fact that it is -0.4% lower than the planned +0.2% above inflation, and a difference of -0.7% to inflation +0.5% rather than the -0.3% predicted in the Financial Study 2019. | Nov 17 16:22 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | The parallelism with national civil servants is broken and all places of employment score below the benchmark with the Coordinated Organisations (COs) and the European Union (EU) institutions. | Nov 17 16:22 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | The results confirmed what the staff representation said in 2020: “The Office already has the worst career system of any International Organisation. It will now also have the worst salary adjustment method.” | Nov 17 16:22 |
