Dr. Thomas Kisler – The Green Software Development Manifesto

Abstract:
To tackle the climate crisis, a transformation is needed in all areas of our lives – including software development. A group of people, agreeing that we as software developers can have a tremendous impact, came together to define some guiding principles enabling a greener software development process. This talk will give a short overview of what happened, where we are right now and how we want to proceed in the future.

Bio:
I am a Data Scientist and Software Developer at MaibornWolff GmbH, where I started after finishing my PhD at the intersection between machine learning and dialectology. Since last year I am responsible for a small unit that is looking for ways software can support the necessary ecological transformation. In my spare time I am also very active regarding the fight against the climate crisis, e.g. by being an active member of the Scientists for Future in Munich.
