This skill share will provide participants with a toolkit of resources to educate participants across a spectrum of awareness, skills/abilities and interest areas on: The carbon footprint of tech, data-centers and cloud; how to evaluate cloud providers on their environmental sustainability; choices development teams can make throughout the development cycle to minimize their cloud carbon footprint, and how to use tools to measure your cloud energy and carbon footprint emissions.
We will leverage virtual sticky notes and/or collaborative document to make sure we capture and answer questions from all participants who attend a session. We will make use of the video conferencing chat feature for participants to ask questions that way too. We will make our resources available in advance of the session for people to review and have available to view offline. We will also share contact information so participants can continue to ask us questions afterwards if they were not fully addressed in the session.
We're hoping that many efforts and discussions will continue after Mozfest. Share any ideas you already have for how to continue the work from your session.:We are featuring a (soon to be) open source project we created which we would like to invite participants to get involved and continue collaborating on after the session and the launch later this month.
We have a google group discussion forum which interested participants can join to be updated on the launch, and discuss the evolution and uses of the tool.

Participants can also continue to engage us with questions or share feedback and insights as they apply the learnings in their own organizations - green-cloud@thoughtworks.com .
The goal of this session is to give you an introduction to thinking about the carbon emissions of the cloud, and how we can begin to address it as technologists.
