“I would love to have the environmental impact numbers for Drupal, that the Wagtail has for Wagtail”

@mgifford speaking about accessibility and web sustainability at #FOSDEM. Figured the @wagtail group would appreciate this. More below, with a link to his talk

I'm speaking for myself as a user/contributor to these projects at the moment, but what would that engagement look like?

@laryn Curious if you were at my presentation on Saturday. No worries eiither way. But look at what Drupal, WordPress and Wagtail are talking about sustainability.

We have to start talking about the impact of our work.. making public committments and changing the culture of how we work.

I don't know exactly how that would look like for CiviCRM or Backdrop.

I was not, but am picking up bits via posts I'm finding and am interested in the topic. Thanks for all you're doing in this arena! I've posted in the Backdrop live chat and curious to see if others there are also interested.

Edit: To perhaps clarify my earlier question, it was largely in regard to a comment that was not actually from you: "looking forward to opportunities for inter-CMS collaboration in the sustainability space"

We would be happy to include this at our next Backdrop LIVE. We just need someone to facilitate the discussion and would love to have folks from other CMS projects participate in the discussion.
