A Gartner study from earlier this year suggests that a skills shortage will leave companies scrambling in vain to find qualified help. However, open source developers say there's an adequate supply of potential employees with the skills they have.
从今年早些时候，市场研究公司Gartnet表明，技能短缺将让公司在寻找适合的帮助变得徒劳。 不过，开源开发者说，对于这种技能，他们有一个供应足够的潜在雇员。
"The difficulty is not so much if they exist. It's finding the right people," says Jon Masters, a Red Hat Linux kernel engineer who also works on the real-time kernel team and helps support third-party drivers on Enterprise Linux distributions. He says that the supply of competent Linux and open source software types will be enough to meet the demand.
Red Hat Linux的核心工程师Jon说：“如果它们存在，困难就没有那么多，现在是要寻找合适的人。”他在工程实时中心团队工作，并对Linux企业版的第三方驱动程序分布提供帮助。 他说， 对合格的Linux系统和开源软件供应的类型，将足以满足需求。
In the study, researchers at Gartner, a Stamford, Conn.-based research and advisory company, say that a coming skills and talent shortage in IT and business is threatening business growth. Meeting the demands created by the integration of IT and business models, they say, will require companies to find hybrid professionals -- workers with both technology and business skills. But the problem, according to researchers, is that such workers are scarce.
在该研究中，Gartner（康涅狄格州斯坦福市以研究和咨询为基础的公司）的研究人员说，未来在IT和业务行业技能和人才短缺将威胁业务的增长。 会议要求，所产生的整合IT和业务模式，他们说，他们将要求公司找到混合的专业人士——无论在技术和商业技能都具备的工作者。 但问题是，根据研究是这些工作者是稀缺的。
Masters says this is not the case among the Linux and open source software developer crowd. "We do have a lot of these hybrid professionals." He says such professionals are a resourceful bunch with a wide range of skills that will enable them to readily adapt to changing realities as IT and business coalesce.
Jon说，在Linux和开源软件开发人群之间的情况并非如此。“我们的确有很多杂牌的专业人士，这群人足智多谋，并具有范围广泛的技能，当IT和商业合并时，这种技能将使他们能够随时适应不断变化的现实。
Masters says the industry's emphasis on self-directed learning helps developer types think outside of the proverbial box in a way that might be foreign to their counterparts in the proprietary software space. "You don't have to be a computer scientist to get involved in Linux. But you do need to be able to problem-solve, work well with other people, and work on different things at the same time."
Jon说，业界的重点放在自我导向学习，这有助于这种类型的开发者，他们认为的众所周知的那块以外，在某种程度上，可能是他们外国专有软件方面的对手。“你不用是一个计算机科学家涉足于Linux，但你必须能够解决问题，与他人一起工作，同时做不同的事情。”
In Morrisville, NC, Open Technology Group has for over 10 years developed, deployed, and trained others to use IT solutions that promote openness and interoperability. Chander Ganesan, the company's president, says that -- based on the types of people who retain OTG's services in areas such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, PHP, Python, and shell programming -- the industry has its fair share of people with work-related experiences that epitomize what hybrid professionals are all about.
在北卡罗的Morrisville 镇， 开放技术小组已超过10年的发展、部署和培训他人使用IT解决方案，促进公开性和互操作性。 公司主席Chander Ganesan说，建立不同类型基础上的人们保留OTG（On-The-Go）服务等领域，如PostgreSQL数据库、MySQL和PHP、Python和框架编程——业界有其公平地与相关工作经验的人分享，杂合的专业人士成为所有这些的缩影。
"A great many of [our clients] may already have a single area of knowledge and wish to broaden their skill set to become more versatile in their jobs," Ganesan says. "Additionally, we see that often the employees -- as opposed to a manager or traditional decision-maker -- are approaching us about training, and then selling their needs up the chain to management. This is fundamentally different, from my perspective, since it leans toward employees themselves being driven toward being hybrid professionals as opposed to upper layers of management."
“许多人（我们的客户）可能已经有单一的领域知识，同时他们希望扩大他们的技能，使他们在工作中努力成为更多才的人。”Ganesan说，“除此之外，我们看到，经常雇员——作为反对经理或传统的决策人——正在接近我们的训练，然后出售他们的需要，加快链管理，这是根本的不同，从我的角度来看，反对上层管理是它倾向雇员走向混合的专业人士的自身的驱使。”
According to DeLisa Alexander, senior vice president of human capital for Red Hat, her company's certification programs contribute towards producing hybrid professionals. "We're contributing toward training people who businesses need. We are looking for those hybrid professionals."
据萨高级副总裁兼Red Hat人力资本亚历山大所言，她的公司的认证项目有助于生产混合型专业人士。“我们正致力于培训那些商业需要的人，我们正在寻找那些混合的专业人士。”
