In just 8 minutes you too will be ready to start using Selenium AT-SPI.

Enhancing and promoting Selenium to achieve KDE's goals.

In this post I start my journey in Google Summer of Code (GSoC) with KDE Eco by describing progress made on the exciting project of making remote access to the Energy Measurement Lab a reality.

"Sustainable Software" is a strategic goal for KDE, focusing on minimizing resource consumption and strengthening user autonomy. The aim is to create software that uses fewer natural resources, reduces energy consumption, and promotes user choice and privacy.

In this post I report back from the German Parliament's "Nachhaltig by Design" conference, which took place in March 2023. I realize we still have a lot to figure out to ensure we minimize the impact of software on the destruction of our planet. Nonetheless, it is encouraging to see the topic of green digitisation and sustainable software receiving more attention.

KDE Eco is proud to announce the publication of the first edition of the measurement handbook "Applying The Blue Angel Criteria To Free Software: A Handbook To Certify Software As Sustainable".

[Updated on Friday, 7 October 2022 for Okular's celebration at Akademy 2022 with KDE Eco cake.]
