Hi Everyone 👋🏽, I'm Namrata Narayan (she/her). I lead Communications, Marketing & Public Relations at GSF and, through my company, help social purpose organizations and leaders improve their communications and public engagement efforts to scale their community, authority, and impact! 🌱 I advocate for relational design and development to advance sustainability, equity and inclusion. I am amazed at the wealth of knowledge GSF shares on how to make software more energy efficient and less dependent on fossil fuel energy and the fact we can already do SO MUCH to keep our climate clean and carbon-free and reduce the negative climate calamities on vulnerable populations and frontier communities is astounding! I am committed to getting more folks on the green software wagon because software can help save our planet. Feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn. Please mention this forum in your invitation or message! 💚 |

Hi All! I'm Chris Skipper (he/him). I'm the producer of the Environment Variables podcast. I also run Sonic Futures - a podcast production company interested in stories for change; which is definitely the story of the Green Software Foundation. My interest in Green Software was non-existent until running this podcast so I can definitely say I am a convert! I've learned so much along this journey and definitely looking forward to promoting the message of the GSF more! Feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cmwskipper/ |

Hi Everyone I had some awareness of the impact that software makes on the climate change before I joined GSF. Then I thought that we're decades away from any comprehensive decisions in this area. I'm so happy I was wrong! To be a part of the project with such an important mission brings me joy and fills with optimism. |

Hi everyone, I'm Jo Lindsay Walton, a Research Fellow at the Sussex Humanities Lab - most of my climate-related work is to do with communication and education, but I'm also involved in green software via the Digital Humanities Climate Coalition Toolkit: https://sas-dhrh.github.io/dhcc-toolkit/ The DHCC is a Community Interest Group of the UK-IE Digital Humanities Association, and the toolkit is a free and open source resource that always welcomes new contributors. If you have tools or resources you think should be in there, please feel free to propose them. Here's me on LinkedIn: Cheers, |

Hi, I‘m Aydin Mir Mohammadi (he/him) from Germany, software developer, entrepreneur and managing director of bluehands. I’m a community enthusiast and run the Green Software Development Karlsruhe User Group with monthly meetups. As a developer I believe that we have the responsibility to create climate friendly application. Currently we have to smuggle green software development into our daily business - we need free tooling and data. To support this approach, I started some open-source tooling around Carbon Aware SDK and provide free forecast data for Europe with academic help. I put it all together in carbon-aware-computing.com. In Karlsruhe we have a huge IT and software entrepreneurship community organized in CyberForum. We started the Sustainability and Impact chapter. Karlsruhe is a hidden champion in the IT business (4.500 IT-Companies, 50% of business tax is from IT) and I’m trying to spread the idea that the sustainability transformation of IT-Companies starts with Green Software Development. I think the GSF is a great opportunity for networking and getting support for the local activities. Please feel free to contact me on LinkedIn |

Hi all 👋 I'm Adam Jackson [he/him]. I am the PM for Communities at the Green Software Foundation. I support our Community Working Group and several projects including meetups & speakers. I am quite new to the GSF, prior to this I was at Microsoft for over 10 years leading Developer Relations initiatives in the UK. I'm really excited about the role of community in reaching developers and sharing the importance of Green Software. These communities not only help us spread the word about the principles of Green Software, they are an important space for sharing of ideas, success stories, and a place for individuals to grow. A bit about me - I am based in the UK, about thirty miles from London. I enjoy tech, food & travel (trying to be more eco-conscious with the latter!). Please do connect with me on LinkedIn. If you have any community questions at all, just @ me on here or DM me on LinkedIn. |

Hi Everyone!! I hope you are all doing well! My name is Sanj Saini (she/her), and I’m reaching out on behalf of AiGoLearning. We’re organizing FutureHacks VII, a 3-day hackathon dedicated to empowering students to tackle real-world challenges through technology. Our last event brought together over 300 participants, and this year, we’re aiming even higher. I’m truly passionate about how technology can be a force for good, and I love seeing students explore its potential—especially in areas like sustainability. I admire the work everyone is doing in this space, and I believe a workshop from anyone here would be an incredible opportunity for our participants to learn, engage, and innovate. Would you be open to discussing this further? I’d love to explore how we can collaborate, whether through a workshop, sponsorship, or even as a judge for our event. Looking forward to your thoughts! Best, |

Hello. I am Andrew Antonopoulos, and I recently completed an MSc degree in AI and ML. My dissertation was to prove whether we can improve power consumption by training an ML model for classification and regression using different optimisation techniques and data formats. To prove my findings, I calculated the Software Carbon Intensity and used it to compare the results. Currently, I am working as a Senior Architect for a big media company in the EU. I am thinking of starting a PhD in software sustainability, where I will probably expand on the findings from the MSc. You can read more in the following links: |

Hi @andygr - just had a look at those links you shared- very useful work! Would you be interested in translating some of the work into Impact Framework "IMP" files and writing up as a case study we can share on our GSF channels? If it's of interest, I'll help with the IF side of things. |

yes that's right. We are helping folks to onboard to IF and then amplifying their work on our channels. Translating studies that have been done using other tools can be a pretty quick win. No pressure, but you can reach me here or via email to [email protected] if you want to explore it. |

👋 Hello everyone! I'm Trevor Lind, the new Delivery Manager for The Green Software Foundation based in Seattle, WA. 👉🏽 Pronouns: He/Him 👉🏽 Connect with me: https://www.linkedin.com/in/trevor-lind/ 👉🏽 My Green Software journey: My interest in Green Software stems from having worked on climate change related issues for the US Forest Service before I transitioned into a career in Tech. I've been driven for years by trying to utilize what I have learned throughout my career to create a bigger impact on the world around me. In the tech industry there is a trend to celebrate complexity and scale, but nature demonstrates that sustainable systems thrive through efficiency and balance. The most impactful tech solutions follow similar principles—they solve problems cleanly without creating additional burden. I'm looking forward to connecting with this community and learning from all of you as we work toward more sustainable software practices! |

Hi everyone, I'm Yacine, one of the maintainers of the Microcks open source project, a CNCF project dedicated to API mocking and testing. I'm passionate about building bridges between FinOps and sustainability. If you're curious about how these intersect, I shared some thoughts in this article from the French FinOps Roadshow: More recently, I'm proud to share a testimonial from one of our adopters, BNP Paribas, that perfectly illustrates this vision in action: “BNP Paribas is using Microcks at scale to accelerate development, reduce costs, and support sustainability goals, a real-world example of how cloud-native tech drives impact in the enterprise.” Looking forward to learning from you all, and always happy to connect and exchange ideas on LinkedIn. Warm regards, |
