This year our contributor conference will be virtual! You have the option to submit live or pre-recorded sessions.
Live
What is your proposal?
It may be obvious that energy conservation and efficiency in software engineering will mean fewer shared resources are needed to keep our digital society functioning. Oft overlooked is that Free Software is well-suited to achieve both!
Free and Open-Source Software guarantees user autonomy through the four freedoms. This autonomy permits users to install only what they need and bypass bloatware, reducing background processes while conserving energy. This autonomy also means users may choose to continue using aging hardware while keeping the software up-to-date -- reducing global CO2 emissions as a result by avoiding the unnecessary production and shipment of new devices.
Moreover, Free and Open-Source Software guarantees transparency: this has always meant that anyone may inspect and learn from software; today, this transparency can be extended to include software’s energy demands when in use. By providing transparency in energy consumption, developers can make their software more efficient and users can make more informed choices.
In this talk I will present how the FOSS values of autonomy and transparency enable one to directly influence the factors determining software sustainability. Additionally, I will announce the new community measurement lab for FOSS developers at KDAB Berlin and present the three steps to Blauer Engel eco-certification. All of these topics may be directly relevant to the Fedora community.
Who in addition to the speaker needs to be in the virtual room for this to succeed? This could be the audience you need to reach, other participants in the conversation, or other stakeholders.

I am in it for the talk and I support it +1 :) This topic is reallt awesome and I have started the initial meeting with @josephdg! Further meetings will follow how to figure out the ways of KDE Eco on Fedora community or in Linux distros in general.

I love this as a concept, and I think we should have more conversations about impact on the world in Fedora in general. However... for Nest, I'd love to see a more Fedora-specific angle.
Particularly: is there a call for action which Fedora can address?
As a reminder, the dates for this years virtual event is August 4th, 5th, & 6th. I will follow up shortly with a draft schedule for you to review and confirm the date/time for your session.
If you would like to pre-record your talk please share the recording with me by Friday July 29th. You can share a file or upload it to YouTube and share the link. If you will be presenting live, there will be a "Test Your Audio/Video" session in Hopin during the event where you will be able to test your system with Hopin.
We will need to add you as a speaker for your session on Hopin. It is encouraged to set up your profile on Hopin with title/picture/socials if desired. Register here: https://hopin.com/events/nest-with-fedora-2022/registration

@andilinux Thank you for the support.
@mattdm Thank you for the feedback. I believe the talk will be directly relevant to Fedora!
@riecatnor Thank you for the notification that the talk was accepted. I look forward to discussing further with the community at Flock about sustainability efforts in Free Software development! As for availability, my schedule has slightly changed since submitting and if possible I would prefer to present on Thursday 4 August any time before 18h CEST or perhaps Friday morning on 5 August. I hope that will be possible. If not I will do my best to accommodate the schedule as needed.
