Hi sustainable Free Software enthusiasts!The 2nd Wednesday of the month is already this week -- and so is our monthly KDE Eco community meetup! :) (My apologies for cross-posting.)
_Short Overview_ *When*: Wednesday 9 February 19:00 CET (UTC+1) (ics event attached) *Where*: https://meet.kde.org/b/jos-l59-2i1-9yt*Topic*: Prof. Dr. Stefan Naumann, Achim Guldner, and Christopher Stumpf from Umwelt Campus Birkenfeld will lead a discussion on measuring the energy consumption of distributed systems and extending the Blauer Engel criteria to such systems.
*Who*: The discussion will be particularly relevant for those developing and testing client-server and p2p applications as well as mobile apps ... especially if you are already focused on performance optimization, also relevant for energy-consumption. Of course, everyone interested in sustainable software development is also cordially invited!
_Details_Research done at the Umwelt Campus Birkenfeld has been fundamental to the establishing the Blauer Engel award criteria for software. In this presentation they will discuss developing the criteria further, specifically with respect to distributed systems (client-server, p2p, apps requiring external services). From the website:
> With the Blue Angel for software products, the first eco-label for sustainable software is available since 2020. Currently, the Blue Angel can only be awarded to desktop software, whose development focuses on resource and energy efficiency. In this project, the existing Basic Award Criteria for the eco-label will be developed further, so that client-server systems and mobile applications (apps) can also be certified in the future.
https://www.umwelt-campus.de/en/green-software-engineering/refoplan-20The presenters are particularly interested in learning from the FOSS community how distributed systems are currently tested (white box vs. black box testing, functional vs. non-functional testing, hardware tests, etc.) and getting feedback on their approaches to measuring the energy consumption of such systems. They will be looking for practice partners for workshops on the energy consumption of distributed systems and extending the Blauer Engel criteria. The first of these workshops will likely be at the end of March.
The work of Umwelt Campus Birkenfeld is crucial for the BE4FOSS project and KDE Eco and we are honored to have them present their project to our community!
Looking forward to seeing many of you on Wednesday!
