I will do!

Some general info: We want to make KDE/FOSS pioneers in energy-efficient 
software development and to drive the discussion in the wider community. 
Currently we are focusing on setting up energy consumption measurement lab(s) 
in order to obtain Blauer Engel eco-certification and to bring issues related 
to energy efficiency to the forefront. There is also work on researching/
building automation tools to support developers (e.g., CI system to monitor 
energy consumption), which will make measurements more integrated in the 
software development process. This is all work still in progress, and the more 
developers involved, the more opportunities for success!

I will ping the Kate community with updates and ways you can help, and if the 
topic interests you don't hesitate to be in touch before then.

I hope to meet some of you on Friday!

Cheers,
Joseph
