Improve an existing Green-IT!

Many existing Green-IT tools are still work in progress and could need some help. Give them this help!

Choose an existing Green-IT tool—like Scaphandre or PowerHog —and make it better! Whether it’s improved usability, more accurate measurements, new integrations, or enhanced visualization—your contribution can push the green software movement forward.

Select a tool from the Green-IT ecosystem (we’ll provide a list of candidates). Explore the codebase and identify areas for improvement. Think about:

  • Accuracy: Are measurements reliable across platforms or hardware?
  • Usability: Could the UX be more intuitive for developers or sysadmins?
  • Performance: Is the tool lightweight and fast?
  • Integrations: Could it work better with CI/CD, cloud platforms, or monitoring tools?
  • Visualization: Can you present the data in a more accessible or actionable way? Implement, test, and document your enhancements.

If you don't know where to start, chose one ore more of these challenge variants:
