Linaro, a not-for-profit engineering organisation within the open source software sector, has taken space at the high profile Harston Mill complex, on the southern edge of Cambridge.
A three-year lease was secured by Carter Jonas, acting for the landlord.
One of the biggest-sized office deals in the third quarter of this year sees Linaro occupy Block K which totals 3,873 sq ft plus 1,662 sq ft in part of Block B.
Linaro consolidates and optimises open source Linux software and tools for the ARM architecture.
Its mission is to bring together the electronics industry and the open source community to work on key projects, deliver great tools, reduce industry wide fragmentation and redundant effort,and provide common software foundations for all.
Member companies fund Linaro and provide half of its engineering resources as assignees who work full time on Linaro projects. These assignees combined with over 100 of Linaros own engineers create a team of over 200 software developers.
Work is conducted openly and Linaro engages with the broader open source community on a daily basis on IRC, mailing lists and at industry events, including its own Linaro Connect events.
Shortlisted for honours at the Business Weekly Awards in March, Linaros work is at the heart of all modern Linux-based devices running on ARM processors, including Android smartphones and tablets. As ARM processors pick up market share in networking, servers and the digital home, the majority of these systems will also be Linux based and will be leveraging Linaros work.
Carter Jonas is active elsewhere at the Harston Mill complex. It has been acting as agent under instruction on the letting of the newly completed refurbishment of the original mill building home of product design hothouse Sagentia and other leading companies in the science, technology and R & D sectors.

Ray McGovern interview with RT International following press conference of Julian Assange - Video
WIKILEAKER Julian Assange is entering his fifth year as a man with a travel toothbrush and the heavy weight of legal charges over his head.
Assange is languishing in luxury or spending his time between chair and treadmill, depending on who you listen to. He most certainly is not at liberty, however, and has been living in a room at the Ecuadorian embassy for the last two and a half years of his life.
Assange will - if he has been allowed to - have scratched some 1,462 marks on the wall of his room.
Each of these will probably cause him to lose his deposit, if he paid one, and each will serve as testimony to the number of days that he has been away from what he might consider his home.
The Free Assange campaign said that, as the fifth year rolls into being, it is perhaps time to do something about it.
The group is suggesting that policing his stay is a waste of time and money, and has a number of other people who are happy to corroborate that assertion.
A web site called Govwaste makes this point with a number of figures and comments, including a statement from Boris Johnson, London Mayor, who called the police effort a waste of money.
Govwaste said that the Ecuadorian agency has offered Assange amnesty for as long as he needs it, which bodes rather ill for police finances.
So far, the group said, the cost of policing the embassy would have paid for almost seven million meals for the needy.

Coming to the end of 2014, it's time to start looking to what the year ahead may have to offer. After gazing into its crystal ball, Juniper Research has compiled a list of what it expects to be the biggest technology trends of 2015. Topping the list is a focus on security. Juniper Research predicts that there will be greater interest in encryption and tokenization, as cloud storage providers battle to regain customer trust.
The launch of Apple Pay will help to drive an increased interest in biometrics to help with security, but 2015 is also predicted to be the year that wearables really take off. Now that Apple has entered the arena, there should be a greater focus on aesthetics and smaller players will increase in popularity. Tied in with both security and wearables is a predicted jump in the use of NFC -- for payments, authentication, health and more.
Juniper Research's white paper suggests that 2015 will see a marked shift to the consumption of media through streaming services. This is thanks in part to mobile data bundles, and it is predicted that the digital download market "will begin its collapse". There has already been something of a movement towards streaming rather than downloading, so this prediction is not entirely surprising. The same is true of the suggestion that cryptocurrency payments -- such as Bitcoin -- will increase in popularity, again tied to wearables, security and NFC. Perhaps what 2015 is really going to be about is the interoperability of devices and services.
The much-talked about drone is likely to continue to hit the headlines. More than just a system of surveillance, these devices are likely to be widely adopted as delivery systems and used more in filming thanks to a huge drop in prices.
A prediction that will please many is one that suggests that budget smartphones, tablets and phablets will really take off in 2015. We've seen the battle at the top end of the market, and now attention turns to the other end of the scale. This is going to develop into a buyers' market, so we should see some great development in the realm of the budget device. Rounding off Juniper Research's visions for next year are predictions that indoor location awareness will increase in importance, as will web integration and deep-linking of apps.

Rudolf Elmer, the former employee of Julius Baer Group Ltd. accused of revealing details of client accounts via WikiLeaks, collapsed about two hours after he went on trial in Zurich today on charges of violating Switzerlands bank secrecy laws. The trial was halted as medics attended to him.
Prosecutors are seeking a prison sentence of three and a half years for Elmer, 59, who embarked on a whistle-blowing campaign after leaving the bank more than a decade ago. He is also accused of offering bank data to the German government and forging a document concerning his former employer, according to a charge sheet filed with Zurich District Court.
The accused led a very versatile and persistent fight against Julius Baer, Prosecutor Peter Giger said in the document, dated June 30. Elmer has denied wrongdoing.
While such cases are not uncommon in Switzerland, where for nearly a century the principle of bank secrecy has been enforced by laws that carry prison terms for offenders, Elmers case has attracted more attention than most. In part this is because he says he was not motivated by personal gain and because the transfer involved WikiLeaks, a website that has drawn the ire of governments around the world, including the U.S., for publishing confidential documents under an avowed commitment to increased transparency.
Elmer appeared in court today unshaven and wearing a blue hoodie. The trial began with three judges deliberating whether the statute of limitations applies to charges related to alleged disclosures via WikiLeaks, saying they would make a decision at the same time they decide on the whole case. Elmer said in a prepared statement he uploaded a forged letter from Julius Baer to German Chancellor Angela Merkel to test WikiLeaks in 2007. Once that letter was published, he uploaded additional material, he said.
After refusing to answer questions about his personal situation, including about his income and his children, Elmer asked for a five-minute break, complaining of a headache. He later collapsed and an ambulance was called to the scene. He was conscious as medics attended to him. The proceedings were halted.
Elmer was detained in January 2011 and held for about five months on a judges order after prosecutors argued that he might tamper with material important to their investigation. He has continued to wage a public campaign against an offshore banking network that he says enables wealthy people to hide money from tax authorities.
Elmer worked at a unit of Julius Baer in the Cayman Islands until 2002. He uploaded data to WikiLeaks, a website that publishes confidential documents under an avowed commitment to increased transparency, from as early as 2007. In January 2011, he gave two compact discs to WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange at a press conference in London. He said today that the discs were empty.
Countries including the U.S., the U.K. and Germany have used testimony from former Swiss bankers or stolen client data to pursue offshore tax dodgers. Under pressure, the Swiss government has agreed to implement international automatic tax information-sharing arrangements, and its banks have cooperated with foreign probes in a bid for leniency.
The trial comes amid public demands for greater protection of bank secrecy. The Swiss may vote on new measures to preserve the tradition, after a petition sponsored by three political parties gathered more than the 100,000 signatures required to force a referendum on the question.

Former Swiss Banker to Stand Trial Over WikiLeaks Data

Chelsea Manning, the soldier jailed for her part in the Wikileaks affair, has revealed that she was transgender in secret while serving in the US army.
At the time of her May 2010 arrest over the leaking military and diplomatic documents, Manning was known as Bradley. Until now, very little has been known about Mannings history of gender identity, despite her very public legal battle with the US military over her civil rights the army private won the right to change her name, and her push for medical treatment while in prison has become something of a cause clbre for transgender rights in the military and even worldwide.
Writing for the Guardian from military prison in Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, in a passionate essay about largely invisible discrimination against transgender people, Manning declares: Were banned from serving our country in the armed services unless we serve as trans people in secret, as I did.
In August 2013, Manning was jailed for 35 years, for passing files to Wikileaks. The following day, Manning said she would from then on be known as Chelsea. In April 2014, a Kansas judge formally granted her request to change her name.
Mannings request for clemency was denied, before proceeding to appeal. She has formally applied to President Barack Obama for a pardon or reduced sentence.
Separately, she is suing the US military over its denial to her of gender dysphoria treatment, despite defense secretary Chuck Hagel having approved the process in July.
In Mannings case, gender dysphoria refers to an innate sense of being female though her sex at birth was male. Treatment includes psychotherapy, hormone therapy and surgery to change her primary and/or secondary sex characteristics.
A hearing in the case, in which Manning is also seeking to be allowed to grow her hair long and use cosmetics, is scheduled for January.
