KDE's Sustainable Software Goal

Software has a direct affect on energy and resource consumption. Since 2022, KDE has the goal of providing software which does this in a way that reduces software's environmental impact for us and future generations.

FOSS Energy Efficiency Project (FEEP)

How can you measure software's energy consumption? And does it make a difference? We are working to make free software more sustainable.

KDE Eko - Enerji Verimliliği Sağlayan Özgür Yazılımlar Yapmak

Yazılımların enerji ve kaynak tüketimi üzerine doğrudan etkisi bulunur. KDE, bunu yazılımların çevresel etkilerini azaltacak biçimde yapan bir sistem sağlama hedefine sahiptir.

Enerji tasarruflu yazılımları ve sayısal sürdürülebilirliği topluluğumuzun bir parçası haline getirelim. Bu ve gelecek kuşaklar için sorumluluğumuzu yerine getirebiliriz!

KDE Eco Handbook

"Blue Angel Criteria To Free Software To Applying The Blue Angel Criteria" adlı el kitabı, yazılımın neden olduğu çevresel zarara ve Alman hükümetinin resmi çevre etiketi olan Blue Angel eko etiketinin sürdürülebilir yazılım tasarımı için nasıl bir ölçüt sağladığına dair genel bir bakış sunuyor. Özgür Yazılım'ın saydamlık ve kullanıcı özerkliği değerlerinin sürdürülebilirliğini nasıl desteklediğini ve yazılımınızın enerji tüketimini ölçmek için özel bir laboratuvarın nasıl kurulduğunu öğrenin!   Daha Fazla Oku

Report From The German Parliament's "Sustainable by Design" Conference

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. Daha Fazla Oku

Blauer Engel For FOSS (BE4FOSS)

In 2020, the German Environment Agency (German: Umweltbundesamt) released the award criteria for eco-certifying desktop software with the Blue Angel ecolabel (German: Blauer Engel). From 2021-2022, the BE4FOSS project under KDE Eco worked to advance eco-certification for resource and energy-efficient software in FOSS communities. Obtaining the Blue Angel ecolabel occurs in 3 steps: (1) Measure, (2) Analyze, and (3) Certify.

Benefits of obtaining the Blue Angel ecolabel include:

  • Recognition of reaching high standards for environmentally-friendly software design,
  • Differentiating free software from the alternatives,
  • Increasing the appeal of adoption for consumers, and
  • Promoting transparency in the ecological footprint of software.

Learn more in the KDE Eco handbook "Applying The Blue Angel Criteria To Free Software".
