With #FreeSoftware you can do something to combat #EWaste!

Production accounts for 75+% of a device's #carbon footprint over its operating life.

Software can determine how long a device remains in use.

Lightweight, up-to-date software, free from bloat and ads, keeps less-powerful #hardware running and out of the bin.

Software freedom means hardware freedom.

Donate to #KDE and other #FOSS projects to support #SustainableSoftware.

#FreeSoftware developer? Looking to measure the #energy consumption of your software in a dedicated lab? Can't make the trip to #Berlin to do so?

Karanjot Singh is working to change that!

This summer remote access to the #KDAB measurement lab will become a reality. Read more at the #KDEEco blog:

Image showing a flow chart for remotely measuring your software's energy consumption. On the left is a drawing of a FOSS developer sitting at a laptop. The text below the images says: "Developer uploading Standard Usage Scenario on the remote portal." The first arrow in the flow chart exits rightward from the laptop and points to the Gitlab logo -- the GitLab Tanuki, which looks like an abstract raccoon dog in red and orange (designed by Ty Wilkins). Above the logo "Gitlab CI" is written. The text "SUS + Application config" is written along the arrow, indicating that the Standard Usage Scenario (SUS) and configuration file for the application being tested are uploaded to Gitlab. A second arrow exits the Gitlab logo and points to an unseen box to the far right of the image. The text "Gitlab jobs running" is written above the arrow, indicating that the energy measurement process has been started. A third arrow in the flow chart appears below the second arrow, but now it points back to the Gitlab logo. "Raw Data sent back" is written along the arrow, indicating that the energy consumption data is being sent back to Gitlab. The fourth and final arrow in the flow chart returns to the developer's computer. The text "Getting Results Back" is written along the arrow, indicating that the developer now has the results of the measurement process. Not shown in the image is the measurement lab setup at the far right of the flow chart. The full image can be seen at the blog post.

KEcoLab: Remote Energy Measurement Lab

In this post I start my journey in Google Summer of Code (GSoC) with KDE Eco by describing progress made on the exciting project of making remote access to the Energy Measurement Lab a reality.

#KDE #software is many things: free, beautiful, performant, customizable. How about all of that plus #sustainable?

KDE adopts #SustainableSoftware as one of 3 overarching goals to focus on!

> Software has an impact on our future. It has an affect on #energy and #resource usage. KDE can deliver software which does this in a way which preserves #environment and society for us and future generations.
