I just don't think it makes much sense to give up or to limit our so successful and even more important conference for environmental purposes. If we start that way, we'd have to change a lot of things: How many mirrors do we need, how many buildbots do we run? Does CollabNet use green IT? Do we really need so many hosts and services? Shall we attend trade shows at all, as that also is bad for the environment? Shall we still offer OpenOffice.org on DVD, this is also bad for the environment?
you are tackling a very good point here. A holistic approach to create a greener project and community would certainly be a project to work on.
Again, please don't think I'm ignorant - I really see your point. I just don't share your view that we should limit down the conference. It would be a massive negative aspect for our community if we did so, IMHO.
You are certainly not ignorant and you are proving it here. :-) Best regards, Peter --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
