Hi all,

I wanted to share some exciting news: in about one month we will be setting up 
the first FOSS community lab in Berlin for measuring energy consumption :)

All are welcome!

For those who are not in Berlin but would be interested in joining, please 
contact me as we may have some funding to support travel to the Sprint.

*When*: Saturday 11 December 11:00 -- 19:00 (possibly with overflow into Sunday 
if needed). Current Schedule, suggestions welcome:

*Where*: KDAB Berlin, Reuchlinstraße 11, Berlin (https://osm.org/go/

What we need:

_Hardware_

 - Power meter (PM): BE recommend Gude Expert Power Control 1202 series (EUR

(2019); however, for getting set up we can use any computer and later invest 
when needed

_Software_

 - PM Python script to read data from Gude power meter: https://

*More*: Learn more about the lab set up and Blauer Engel eco-certification on 
Friday 11:40 at my talk in the Sustainability Track (FSFE) of the South Tyrol
