PROJECTS
SCI Open Data
Provide all the necessary data sources that can be used as inputs for the SCI specification, for free. Emissions factors, embodied emissions data for devices and energy consumption for different components of a software system.
Carbon Aware SDK
An SDK to enable the creation of carbon aware applications, applications that do more when the electricity comes from clean low-carbon sources and less when it does not.
Awesome Green Software
Research, tools, code, libraries and training for building applications that emit less carbon into our atmosphere. An awesome list created and managed by the Innovation Working Group in the Green Software Foundation.
How we work
We hold weekly meetings on Wednesday @ 1700 (BST) you can see the minutes of every meeting on our repo on GitHub.
Proposing a new project
To propose a project, we ask that you create a short project document and gather the interest of at least three people from 2 different member organizations.
Reach out to the chairs, who will add you to the next working group meeting agenda.
If the working group reaches consensus and agrees, your project will be made official and start receiving the support of the Foundation.
However, often it requires several conversations with the working group to evolve your project proposal to a version where everyone is comfortable.
Once launched, the working group will support you in executing your project and source the resources required from the Foundation and its members.
