Wrapup of the first day at the #OSSummit. It was a pretty positive experience. Apart from the boring sponsored "Keynotes" at the very beginning, the quality of the talks was quite high.
Shoutout to the #GreenSoftwareFoundation , #Isovalent, #Coder and #ProxMox.

Great presentation by @adrianco on Virtual #Cloud Native #Sustainability Week last year by Technical Advisory Group (TAG) Environmental Sustainability.

Topic: Cloud Provider Sustainability - Current Status and Future Directions

There are terms like PPA and REC. Not all of those tools are #greenwashing. Proper #RenewableEnergy Credits (REC/GoO) can help to fund existing #renewable #energy projects and Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) create new #renewables! This includes drilling into scope2 and #scope3 #co2 emissions of #Google #Amazon #Microsoft. This includes not only #electricity consumption but also emissions caused by the creation of the hardware, building, infrastructure...

#co2 aware scheduling of workload described by Chris Adams ( #greenWebFoundation & #greenSoftwareFoundation ):

"many computation workloads (such as some learning or big data) can be flexible in time (scheduled for delayed execution) and space (transferred across any geographical distance with limited cost). This opens the possibility of shifting workloads in time and space to take advantage in real time of any amount of excess renewable energy, which otherwise would be curtailed and wasted. Initial results show that a single #datacenter that time shifts load can reduce its #emissions by 19% or more annually"

#greenSoftwareFoundation needs help:

"I'm looking for recommendations for an analyst or boutique analyst firm to help us get a landscape analysis together, and map out the different areas of focus these groups have.
The primary goal is helping inform the green software foundations own policy advocacy over the next 24 months or so, but I'm hoping we'll end up with some shareable artefact that might be relevant for other groups in this field as well.

This a funded project, and we're intending to commission it over the summer, to end up with a deliverable that lists existing initiatives and how they might relate to existing anticipated policy changes over the next 24 months. We have an annual drumbeat of the COP process now for example, as well as energy market reform in various regions, along with new requirements on emissions disclosure coming in Europe and the States as examples which are likely to be drivers in this field."

Yes, #GreenSoftwareFoundation carbon efficiency is emitting the least amount of CO2. That might be obvious but the most efficient way to reduce our carbon footprint is to… not emit carbon, not offset it! And amoung technique, special ➕for #carbon awareness #apidays #apidaysparis #greenioconf

This conference from #GreenSoftwareFoundation is so frustrating to watch... They only talk about carbon emissions. They completely ignore the human cost! It's not just about #CO2 emissions! We're reaching the point where we're running out of resources. We're running out of petrol, rare metals (lithium, cobalt, etc) required to make batteries. We're running out of farmable land, which will cause a food crisis and famines.

Watching the conference from Green Software Foundation.

It looked promising when I registered but unfortunately, I came to the conclusion that it should really be called Greenwashing Software... 😞
