SDIA Hackathon on the Environmental Impact of Software

Dear Community,
We are organising a hackathon as part of the "SoftAWERE" project, supported by the Federal Environment Agency (Umweltbundesamt), and would like to invite you to participate.

What it's about: We are to kick things off by sharing our test laboratory and walk you through the steps on how to measure the environmental impact of any software using Gitlab's CI/CD Runner. Curious already? You can access the documentation here, learn how to set up your repository here, and look at examples & request access here on Gitlab.

Then we are breaking up into teams, working on reducing the environmental impact of either open-source projects or your own projects together. The best part? The top teams with the biggest improvement of the day have the chance to win prizes worth a total of €1,700 (a jury will review all the changes as branches/merge requests).

Who and how can you participate: If you attend as an individual, we will assign you to a team, or you can bring your own team for the open-source project you would like to work on during the day.

What is the aim: During the day you will have the opportunity to implement energy and environmental impact reductions in your own or popular open-source projects. The most effective changes will have the chance to win prizes worth a total of €1,700.

Where: Space Shak Berlin, Akazienstraße 3a 10823 Berlin

When: 24th of May 2023 from 13:00 to 19:00h (with drinks & food afterward)

We are excited to welcome you to this event in Berlin. If you have any questions beforehand, do not hesitate to drop an email to stephanie.leufgen@sdialliance.org.

We are looking forward to an exciting afternoon with you!
