Meeting Notes

OKRS

• Daniel has an internal Principles & Patterns WG who would like to contribute back to the GSF
• Namrata reminded everyone about the Decarb event engagement kit

ClimateHack 2023 (co-organised by UCL's AI Society)

• https://climatehack.ai/
• University College London co-organising climate hack event
• Looking for sponsorship & partnerhsips
  • Ideally £10-15k per sponsor to cover accommodation, travel & prizes
  • Partner to act as judges, promote the event and provide other logistical support
• Adam will follow-up with the CWG next week and get back to Szymon, Andrea & Jeremy
  • Explore potential alignment with IEF

Green Software Maturity Matrix

• First draft based on contributions across the broader community
• @aecurrie would like to make a GSF project. Challenge is continuing to develop with non-GSF member contributions
  • Pindy echos Anne's request to find a solution to allow external contribution
  • Chris Lloyd-James SC proposal in progress to broaden contributors to Champions
  • Overarching issue will be raised at the next SC meeting (not the one tomorrow, but the next one)

Green-Software-Foundation/standards-wg#77

• Pindy's proposal
• Based on https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/62992856-sustainable-it-playbook-for-technology-leaders
• Discussion on it living under the Standards WG connected to SCI
• Should this be merged with Anne’s project?
  • Pindy: “I think there is a cross over between the work that Anne and I are doing. I would be more than happy to trial the SCI as part of my decision making framework, and report updates in the standards WG. But have the project sitting in the community WG. This is an example of a project that spans a number of WG’s”
  • Pindy: "As I mentioned there are synergies between the two projects and there are also differences too. Maybe we run them as two separate and have a link between Anne and I.”
  • Pindy: “I can report into standards as the tools and data is a key component…but we keep in sync. Maybe we have a standard agenda item in this call to discuss updates. And we can have separate calls to sync up

Verified Facts

• Facts which link to a research paper - Facts not Fiction
• Proposal that the GSP provide a list of trusted facts that people can reference
• No conclusions, further discussion requried
