Then, this week, a Google executive announced that he will be running \u201cGoogle\u2019s photos and streams products,\u201d leading to further speculation that Google Plus is being dissolved into separate products. Google has a history of failure with social networks, as well as a history for dismantling products to salvage what they can, so this very well may be the end of G+.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In other interesting news this week\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.atlassian.com\/2015\/03\/standup-atlassian\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"broken_link\"><strong>Stand-up at Atlassian: How We Do It<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\nAs a part of their series on agile ceremonies, Atlassian shares how they run stand-up meetings.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.atlassian.com\/2015\/03\/standup-atlassian\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"broken_link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.marketwired.com\/press-release\/oracle-announces-release-of-java-development-kit-8-update-40-nyse-orcl-1996915.htm?utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter&amp;utm_content=Emilie\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"broken_link\"><strong>Oracle Announces Release of Java Development Kit 8, Update 40<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\nOracle released the Java Development Kit 8, Update 40 \u2013 check out this press release to see the latest features and benefits.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.marketwired.com\/press-release\/oracle-announces-release-of-java-development-kit-8-update-40-nyse-orcl-1996915.htm?utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter&amp;utm_content=Emilie\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"broken_link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.surveymonkey.com\/s\/FoOS-RedHat?utm_content=buffera7b8c&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter.com&amp;utm_campaign=buffer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"broken_link\"><strong>[Survey] 2015: The Future of Open Source<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\nWhat\u2019s the next big trend in open source software?
