Highlights include the Agentic AI Foundation welcoming the Gates Foundation as its first philanthropic member and adding TRACE, an open specification for verifiable AI workload evidence built with AMD, Anthropic, Intel, Microsoft, NVIDIA and others; the Xen Project launching a Safety Committee and extending security support to five years; CNCF graduating Kubeflow, Cloud Native Buildpacks, and Karmada, plus the Kubernetes v1.37 release; FINOS shipping Common Domain Model 7.0 and launching OSERA for supply-chain remediation; and new research showing open source can deliver two to five times greater value for energy grid operators. The newsletter also promotes AGNTCon + MCPCon North America (October 22-23, San Jose), a new MCP Associate certification, and numerous other project milestones, events, and community updates spanning cloud native, AI, energy, automotive, telecom, and open hardware. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What is the TRACE specification the Linux Foundation announced for AI workloads? TRACE (Trust, Runtime Attestation and Compliance Evidence) is an open specification contributed to the Linux Foundation providing a portable, cryptographically verifiable evidence layer for AI agents and confidential workloads. Developed with AMD, Anthropic, Intel, Microsoft, NVIDIA, OPAQUE and TII, it helps organizations prove how AI workloads handle sensitive data and enforce policies across cloud and confidential computing environments. _Track emerging standards like TRACE on daily.dev as verifiable AI workload evidence becomes a compliance requirement._ ### What changed in the MCP specification that caused the surge in MCP tool call usage? The July release of the MCP specification made the protocol stateless, allowing any available server to handle the next request rather than requiring a sticky session with one server. This let service providers scale capacity as demand grew, and contributed to MCP tool calls from ChatGPT users reaching 98 times their January level by August, with Resend surpassing a million monthly tool calls. _Developers scaling MCP-based agent tooling can follow protocol changes like this on daily.dev._ ### What new features does Kubernetes v1.37 (Garhwal) introduce? Kubernetes v1.37, codenamed Garhwal, introduces 67 enhancements: 16 features graduated to Stable, 23 graduated to Beta, 27 entered Alpha, and one feature was deprecated or removed. This release reflects ongoing incremental maturation of the Kubernetes API surface across multiple feature gates. _Platform engineers tracking Kubernetes release changes can follow version-by-version breakdowns on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Linux Foundation Newsletter: July 2026](https://daily.dev/posts/linux-foundation-newsletter-july-2026-wt0wplhcb) · Linux Foundation · 2 upvotes · 0 comments - [Linux Foundation Newsletter: January 2026](https://daily.dev/posts/linux-foundation-newsletter-january-2026-mnbd0f6tx) · Linux Foundation · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Linux Foundation Newsletter: February 2026](https://daily.dev/posts/linux-foundation-newsletter-february-2026-ezodc00xc) · Linux Foundation · 2 upvotes · 0 comments - [Linux Foundation Newsletter: June 2026](https://daily.dev/posts/linux-foundation-newsletter-june-2026-nmals0hch) · Linux Foundation · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#open-source](https://daily.dev/tags/open-source), [#mcp](https://daily.dev/tags/mcp), [#agentic-ai](https://daily.dev/tags/agentic-ai), [#cncf](https://daily.dev/tags/cncf) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/linux-foundation-newsletter-september-2026-qabawck4e) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Linux Foundation Newsletter: September 2026","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/linux-foundation-newsletter-september-2026-qabawck4e","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/linux-foundation-newsletter-september-2026-qabawck4e"},"datePublished":"2026-09-17T14:53:25.461Z","dateModified":"2026-09-17T15:04:49.121Z","description":"The September 2026 Linux Foundation newsletter rounds up updates across dozens of hosted projects and foundations.
