What I Learnt Writing a Carbon Awareness Skill for Claude
(short talk)
Having recently left my senior IC job in tech, I wanted to take some time to pursue green software principles, in particular how they apply to our use of AI. Since I'm an engineer, and engineers learn by doing; I decided to build an MCP server using sustainable software practices, and have it serve up a skill that would let an LLM ask what its carbon footprint had been for the conversation so far.The talk describes what I built and why, and how the implementation and infrastructure were a breeze compared to finding some real numbers to back up the carbon equivalence calculation.

How I built Podplane - an Open Source PaaS running Kubernetes on Object StorageAbout Podplane:
Want to deploy your app easily and securely on AWS, Google Cloud, or Proxmox? Podplane is an Open Source Platform-as-a-Service built on Kubernetes with all state stored in Object Storage. It consists of a CLI, etcd alternative (netsy.dev), auth server (easy-oidc.dev), and next-gen auto-scaler (nstance.dev) - all written in Go.*
Interested in speaking at an upcoming event?
We will aim to have a mix of short (~10min) and in-depth (20-30min) talks.
