How can we ensure energy data from KEcoLab are stable?

@sthak9 has some ideas.

"Ensuring KEcoLab Stability: Introducing Dedicated CI-Test"

eco.kde.org/blog/2024-04-12-so

#KEcoLab is a KDE tool for measuring software's #energy consumption, but it needs robust testing to ensure stable functionality after code changes. Sarthak presents his work in Season of #KDE 2024 implementing dedicated test builds with #Kate test scripts.

Screenshot from the Gitlab pipeline testing the stability of KEcoLab output using Kate usage scenario scripts. The screenshot shows that the test build and energy measurement test passed.

Selenium automation for measuring software's energy consumption?

@prady0t wants to guide you!

Read about his Season of KDE 2024 work on documentation for #Selenium AT-SPI, including video guides for the #KDE community.

"How Selenium Helps Build Sustainable Software (And More)"

KEcoLab in Season of KDE 2024: Energy-Consumption Measurements In The CI/CD Pipeline

#KEcoLab is a tool enabling remote access to KDE's measurement lab in Berlin.

Season of #KDE contributor Aakarsh MJ (@aakarshmj) has worked on integration of KEcoLab into #Okular's pipeline. Thanks to his work, #energy reports can now be created with every new release!

The most environmentally-friendly device is the one you already own!

#FreeSoftware #OpenSource let's you use your devices until the end of the hardware's life cycle, not the software's!

See these previous posts about the environmental harm of #eWaste and the role of Free Software in combatting it:

The power of Free Software: Turning trash into treasure!

The Cape Verdean American Community Development (#CACD) group has been reviving otherwise-obsolete computers with KDE #Plasma (#Kubuntu).

"The result? Less #eWaste and more control over the functioning of personal devices. That means not having to buy new when your software becomes unusable over time."

In 2016, 44.7 million metric tons of e-waste was generated. This is estimated to be equivalent to 4,500 Eiffel Towers, which, when stacked, is 17 times higher than Mount Everest. Less than 20% of e-waste is collected and recycled. Although e-waste makes up less than 2% of trash in landfills, it contributes to almost 70% of the toxic waste found in them.

"Sustainable Software" is a strategic goal for KDE, focusing on minimizing resource consumption and strengthening user autonomy. The aim is to create software that uses fewer natural resources, reduces energy consumption, and promotes user choice and privacy.

The image shows the KDE Eco logo superimposed on top of a bed of greenery. The KDE Eco is a variation on the classic KDE logo of a blue letter K and a gear around it, but the gear is now green with a leaf sprouting on top.

How can something immaterial like software have an #environmental footprint? What do ecolabels have to do with software design? Why do we ❤ Free Software today and every day ... also because it is sustainable software?

We explore these and other questions in #KDEEco's new measurement handbook "Applying The #BlueAngel Criteria To Free Software: A Handbook To Certify Software As #Sustainable".

Cover image for the KDE Eco handbook. The text reads: "Applying The Blue Angel Criteria To Free Software: A Handbook To Certify Software As Sustainable. A KDE Eco initiative". The KDE Eco logo is displayed below: A blue K with a green gear wrapping around it and at the top one of the gear's cogs begins sprouting a leaf. Below this is the website URL eco.kde.org. The cover's background image is a reference to Plasma's current login screen. (Handbook cover and KDE Eco logo designed by Lana Lutz.)

Want to join the #FreeSoftware sustainability initiative and open doors to KDE / FOSS communities?

Season of KDE 2023 (#SoK2023):

dot.kde.org/2022/12/14/join-se

Measure #energy consumption of software & apply for software eco-certification! Info:

community.kde.org/SoK/Ideas/20

Deadline: 15 Jan 2023

Did you know that you too make #KDE possible? Consider a donation this holiday season: kde.org/fundraisers/yearend202

The 3 steps to eco-certification. 1. Measure: Run usage scenarios to measure energy and hardware consumption in three modes. 2. Analyze: Data analysis using OSCAR (Open Source Software Consumption Analysis in R). 3. Certify: Submit a report on the fulfillment of the Blauer Engel criteria.

#KDE #software is many things: free, beautiful, performant, customizable. How about all of that plus #sustainable?

KDE adopts #SustainableSoftware as one of 3 overarching goals to focus on!

> Software has an impact on our future. It has an affect on #energy and #resource usage. KDE can deliver software which does this in a way which preserves #environment and society for us and future generations.
