Post Linux foundation survey
I noticed a few weeks ago that the Linux Foundation posted a survey that showed Linux skills are in demand, but it didn't offer a lot of specifics about the places they polled (how big the companies and entities are, how well they are growing, what kind of income they were collecting) or actual numbers about what the employees were getting paid, or how many positions they had required or would soon require to be filled by people with linux skills.

Has anyone seen any polls/surveys/studies that are a little more detailed?

that is good, anything about the companies that are employing people with these skills though?

I have a pretty good idea myself, but I'm trying to get some material together to hand out and it would be nice to include that sort of thing.

Have there been any recent findings like this:

That might be helpful, this one was from 2008 and still has some gems in it, but if anyone has seen anything more current, I'd appreciate seeing it too.
