Fwd: [SDIA] You are invited to the first workshop of the SoftAWERE project on February 17th

Tue Feb 1 11:59:38 GMT 2022

I thought some of you might be interested in participating in the 
*SoftAWERE workshop* 17 February (see announcement below)?

Please contact me or Thorge Saß directly (thorge.sass at sdialliance.org)!

You can read more about the SoftAWERE project here:

> We created the SoftAWERE industry steering group to oversee and set the direction for the development of tools and labels for energy-efficient software applications. The majority of the work has been financed by the Germany's Federal Ministry of Economics with the project management done by the German Environmental Agency.

Cheers,
Joseph

The agenda is now available.

Dear Joseph

On Thursday, 17.02.2022, from 10:00 to 14:00 CET, the SDIA will be 
hosting their first virtual open industry workshop on their new 
SoftAWERE project, aimed at creating the tools necessary to measure 
energy efficiency of open source libraries and components, creating 
transparency and enabling better choices for developers.

Since you are part of the software industry, we would kindly like to 
invite you to the event to share your expertise.

With the first workshop, we will introduce the project, discuss the 
first findings and give you the opportunity to ask questions and 
actively participate in the delivery of the project. If the following 
agenda sounds interesting to you and you would like to participate, 
please register for the event using the link below:

Note: If you have already registered for the event in the past, please 
sign up via the link below again to select your preferred breakout room 
discussion.

measured?
- Room 2: Application: What usage scenarios do we envision and where do 
we see the highest impact on potential software efficiency improvements?
- Room 3: Outlook: What is the current perception of energy and resource 
efficiency inside the software community? Where are the boundaries 
towards sustainability?

11:20-11:25: Change of Rooms

After 35 minutes, we will mix up the rooms again, so everyone can 
contribute to more than one topic

THE PROJECT

The project has been launched by the German Environmental Protection 
Agency (UBA), is funded by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate 
Protection (BMWK) and executed by the SDIA in collaboration with 
Eco-Institute.

The objective of the project is to enable developers to consider energy 
consumption as part of the development process and take it into account 
when selecting libraries and third-party components. This leads to 
better environmental choices during the development process.

The outcomes of this project will be:

- An applicable and repeatable approach to measuring the electrical 
power consumption of software development components and tools
- The development and feasibility verification of a label for software 
applications regarding the electrical energy use
- Political recommendations on facilitating the broader adoption of this 
measurement framework

Since this is a hands-on project that connects theoretical groundwork 
with practical application, your participation is key to moving this 
project forward and consequently creating the path towards 
energy-efficient software.

Did we catch your interest? Please use the registration link and 
register for the workshop.
