Community Lab (KDAB Berlin) | Sprint Sat. 2 April 11:00-19:00

[Joseph P. De Veaugh-Geiss]

Hi all,

on 2 April we will be setting up the community lab at KDAB Berlin for 
measuring the energy consumption of Free Software applications!

We are currently planning a small event, but if you are interested in 
joining please be in touch. Everyone is welcome and I will do my best to 
accommodate all interested community members :) For those who are not in 
Berlin but would be interested in joining, contact me as we may have 
some funding to support travel to the Sprint.

If you are not in Berlin but would be interested in setting up a lab 
near you, let's talk. There are certainly ways we can support each other 
during the lab setup, it is just a matter of planning.

Details are below, including Corona policy for in-person attendance.

Very much looking forward to it!

Your community manager,
Joseph

*What*: Community lab setup for measuring the energy consumption of Free 
Software. For details and discussion: 
https://invent.kde.org/joseph/be4foss/-/issues/25

*When*: Sprint, Saturday 2 April 11:00 -- 19:00. Current Schedule, 
suggestions welcome:

   - 11:00-12:30 Preparation
   - 12:30-13:30 Lunch
   - 13:30-16:30 Set up Computer 1 + PM and Computer 2
   - 16:30-17:00 Break
   - 17:00-19:00 Test set up with usage scenarios

*Corona*: 2G+ for participation, including antigen test before the 
event. As for masks, if one person would like us to wear masks, all of 
us will. It is important that everyone in attendance feels comfortable, 
and this seems the fairest way to ensure that. However, if all attendees 
feel ok without wearing masks, that is also an option. We hope the 
weather will be nice so we can leave the windows open. Feel free to send 
me a private email if you prefer we all wear masks.

*Where*: KDAB Berlin, Reuchlinstraße 11, Berlin 
(https://osm.org/go/0MZvks2Rp--?m=)

*What We Have*:

_Hardware_
   - Computer 1 (Data Aggregator): To collect data from power meter
   - Power meter (PM): BE recommend Gude Expert Power Control 1202 
series (EUR 300-350)
   - Computer 2 (Reference system): BE recommend Fujitsu Esprimo P958 
computer (2019); however, for getting set up we can use any computer and 
later invest when needed

_Software_
   - Scenario scripts for Idle Mode and Standard Usage (many are 
currently in progress, e.g., GCompris, Kate/Kwrite)
   - PM Python script to read data from Gude power meter:
