@wim_v12e Hi, I'd really appreciate if you had the time give your opinion on a blog post I published this weekend about the low hanging fruits in #LowCarbonComputing: https://blog.ltgt.net/climate-friendly-software/

And in the event you like it, feel free to boost: https://piaille.fr/@tbroyer/110290605276298999

Nosing around http://solarprotocol.net/ and it is so cool. Low-carbon computing on solar energy-powered servers is so freaking neat, I love it.

A big thanks to everyone who came to my talk today, it was fun and the questions were very stimulating.

Here are two papers that give a lot more detail on what I explained:

"Our House Is On Fire" By Bran Knowles, Kelly Widdicks, Gordon Blair, Mike Berners-Lee, Adrian Friday
Communications of the ACM, June 2022, Vol. 65 No. 6, Pages 38-40

"The real climate and transformative impact of ICT: A critique of estimates, trends, and regulations" by Charlotte Freitag, Mike Berners-Lee, Kelly Widdicks, Bran Knowles, Gordon S. Blair, Adrian Friday, Patterns Volume 2, Issue 9, 10 September 2021, 100340

@agaitaarino

If your community/organisation/company is interested, I am keen to give on-line talks about #FrugalComputing, aka Low Carbon and Sustainable Computing.

Example topics are:

Frugal computing
On the need for low-carbon and sustainable computing and the path towards zero-carbon computing.

https://wimvanderbauwhede.github.io/articles/frugal-computing/

How to reduce the carbon footprint of your digital lifestyle

https://wimvanderbauwhede.github.io/articles/frugal-computing-consumer/

Frugal computing: developer perspective
On the need for low-carbon and sustainable computing and what developers can do about it.

https://wimvanderbauwhede.github.io/articles/frugal-computing-developer/

But happy to discuss specific topics in this area.

(boosts much appreciated!)

A few weeks ago, Kelly Widdicks gave a very interesting talk to my low carbon computing research group:

"The Climate Impacts of ICT"
