Our mission addressing IT leaders is clear. We've defined the kind of company that we want to address. Read through our provided resources, chose the GREENIT referential, splitting it into 3 teams, clustering actions on feasibility levels visually. We'll vote on the top 10.

We've started working on the slides, and have some initial content for communicating the idea. In the last couple of hours hope to have a workflow demo.

  1. Appointing someone within IT to track progress. This person should create the GreenIT strategy specifically applied to the company.
  2. Measure the environmental impact of IT, with a proper tool
  3. Extending the lifetime of equipment in general (PCs, smartphones, servers, screens…)
  4. Responsible purchasing (Prioritize purchasing reconditioned equipment, Generalize environmental clauses in equipment tenders, buy labelled equipment)
  5. Building a company GreenIT culture by training employees on the best practices + explaining the benefits of each action as we implement them
  6. Assess the relevancy of having an on prem Data Center – if not, move to cloud.

Started working on tool to decide where a DB query goes based on carbon intensity. Dashboard mocked in Google Slides. First step is to choose a source of data. ElectricityMaps is an inspiration for this: forecasts will suggest the time of day for long-running compute jobs.

We have a command-line tool to computes searches of what you are running, the result published to a dashboard. Looking at instrumenting this with Python. The use case: devops pushing code to remote servers. Our goal is to submit at least one bug fix today!
