Eco and Autonomy tabs / "Eco" subpage at okular.kde.org

[Joseph P. De Veaugh-Geiss]

Hi, as part of the Sustainable Software goal the KDE Eco community is 
working on implementing an Eco/Autonomy tab in the KDE About dialogue. 
You can read the general discussion "'Eco' tab in KDE About dialog" here:


  https://invent.kde.org/teams/eco/sustainable-software-goal/-/issues/2

Okular-specific discussion "Draft: aboutdata: add eco information" is here:

  https://invent.kde.org/graphics/okular/-/merge_requests/816

We are currently beginning discussion of the design for the tabs as well 
as a subpage at the Okular website (e.g., something like 
okular.kde.org/eco/). At the Gitlab Eco/Autonomy tab Issue there are two 
subtasks related to this:


- Design Eco Tab / Autonomy Tab: 
https://invent.kde.org/teams/eco/sustainable-software-goal/-/issues/2?work_item_iid=23


- Design Eco Subpage at Okular website: 
https://invent.kde.org/teams/eco/sustainable-software-goal/-/issues/2?work_item_iid=24


Your feedback on any aspect of this work is more than welcome. We want 
this to be something that augments the great work you are doing and it'd 
be helpful to have your input.


All the best,
Joseph

Re: Blue Angel info | include in manual or "About" info-box?

[Joseph P. De Veaugh-Geiss]

Hello,

On 12/4/22 23:47, Albert Astals Cid wrote:

I don't see how to make it fit in the About dialog though. The About dialog is
not very customizable (on purpose, so that all apps show the same).

One option is to add it as "Other" text, but IMHO it's a bit too prominent,
before the copyright and okular webpage link
https://i.imgur.com/ZkRIoTr.png

The other option is have it in the "Thanks" section, which is semantically
wrong (e.g. the web link tooltip says "Visit the contributors page")
https://i.imgur.com/VbkajK2.png

Maybe we should just go for the manual?


I noticed that different applications have different tabs in the Help > 
About X info box. For instance: Dolphin has "About", "Components, 
"Authors", while Kate has those plus "Thanks To".


Could it be worth adding a "Sustainabaility" / "Eco" tab? This would be 
a place to include information about Blue Angel eco-certification and 
other energy measurements, or aspects of the software which make it more 
sustainable (runs on older hardware, freedom from advertising, etc.)?


I think this idea fits well with the sustainability goal, in particular 
"highlighting where our software is already sustainably designed".

What do you think?

[Joseph P. De Veaugh-Geiss]

Hi!

On 12/2/22 00:05, Albert Astals Cid wrote:

I'm not against it, but what's the actual benefit of having that mention?

I can see it's appeal on the webpage, it tells people we're serious, a good
app, etc etc so it's a "selling point"

But on the manual/about box, the person is already using the app, so they
don't need to be sold on it.


I can see at least two reasons to include it there:

- Many users may be using Okular and not know it has been eco-certified. 
This would be a way to inform them about certification if they do not go 
to the main website.


- As more KDE aps are certified or the energy consumption of more 
programs is made available (via badges?), it may be beneficial to have 
an easy and consistent way for users to find the relevant information.

Joseph

Excellent!


Alternatively to adding some text to the About dialog, we could (could we?)
add the Blue Angel certification logo and link it to some page giving details
(e.g. the manual).


With respect to the guidelines of the Blue Angel, adding the following 
logo is permitted:

Blue Angel info | include in manual or "About" info-box?

[Joseph P. De Veaugh-Geiss]

Hello,

I was talking with Cornelius and we thought it might be worth including 
information about Okular receiving the Blue Angel in Okular's manual or 
the "About" info-box in the application itself. (I looked but didn't 
find one, though.)


Would this be something Okular developers would be interested in?

I have prepared two texts that may be used for this; see below.

If you agree this is a good idea, please let me know if I can help in 
any way.


Cheers,
Joseph

In February 2022, Okular was awarded the Blue Angel environmental label 
award by the German government for sustainable software design.


== long text ==

In February 2022, Okular was awarded the Blue Angel environmental label 
award by the German government for sustainable software design. To 
obtain the ecolabel, Okular demonstrated it meets a list of requirements 
considered critical for the environment over the product's life cycle. 
These included transparency in energy and resource consumption when 
using Okular and the ability to run the application on hardware at least 
five years old, as well as compliance with a list of user autonomy 
requirements which reduce the environmental impact of software.

Okular | statistics before and after BE eco-certification

[Joseph P. De Veaugh-Geiss]

Hi!

I would be interested in Okular statistics before and after receiving 
the Blue Angel eco-label. [1]


Would it be possible to obtain data for 2022 related to website (Matomo) 
or download statistics (e.g., Ubuntu, Microsoft Store)?


FYI In the near future I plan to go through Debian's popularity contest 
data for Okular: https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=okular


Are there other statistics you think I should take a look at?

Cheers,
Joseph

Press Release: Okular, world's first eco-certified software product!

[Joseph P. De Veaugh-Geiss]

Apologies for cross-posting!

[Deutsch unten]

Today KDE is excited to announce that Okular, the multi-platform 
universal document viewer, is the first ever eco-certified computer program!


*First Ever Eco-Certified Computer Program: KDE's Popular PDF Reader Okular*

> The multi-platform Free and Open-Source Software product is now 
officially recognized for sustainable software design


  https://eco.kde.org/blog/2022-03-16-press-release-okular-blue-angel/

/Summary/: Okular, KDE's popular multi-platform PDF reader and universal 
document viewer, has officially been recognized for sustainable software 
design. In February 2022 Okular was awarded the Blue Angel ecolabel, the 
official environmental label awarded by the German government. 
Introduced in 1978, Blue Angel is the world's earliest-established 
environmental label, and Okular is the first software product ever to be 
certified with its seal. What is more, Okular is the first ️ever 
eco-certified computer program within the 30 organizations of the Global 
Ecolabelling Network!


Released under the GPLv2+ license, Okular is Free and Open-Source 
Software, and so it was also already fulfilling many of the user 
autonomy criteria necessary to obtain the Blue Angel seal of approval. 
Further work was carried out to make Okular fully compliant with all of 
the Blue Angel criteria, and become officially recognized as providing 
transparency in energy and resource consumption, extending the potential 
hardware operating life of devices, and enabling user autonomy.


Today we are celebrating the achievement together with the wider Free 
Software community [1], as well as with the computer science department 
at Umwelt Campus Birkenfeld [2], where researchers measured the resource 
and energy-consumption of Okular and other KDE software.


KDE and the Free Software community would like to send a heartfelt thank 
you to the Okular developers for making environmentally-friendly 
software for all of us!

== Deutsche Version ==

KDE freut sich, heute ankündigen zu können, dass Okular, der 
plattformübergreifende universelle Dokumenten-Viewer, das erste 
öko-zertifizierte Computerprogramm überhaupt ist!


Pressemitteilung: 16. März 2022

*Erstes öko-zertifiziertes Computerprogramm überhaupt: KDEs beliebter 
PDF-Reader Okular*


> Das plattformübergreifende Freie- und Open-Source-Software-Produkt 
ist nun offiziell für nachhaltiges Software-Design anerkannt


  https://eco.kde.org/blog/2022-03-16-press-release-okular-blue-angel/

/Zusammenfassung/: Okular, KDEs beliebter plattformübergreifender 
PDF-Reader und universeller Dokumenten-Viewer, ist offiziell für 
nachhaltiges Softwaredesign ausgezeichnet worden. Im Februar 2022 wurde 
Okular mit dem Umweltzeichen Blauer Engel ausgezeichnet, dem offiziellen 
Umweltzeichen der deutschen Bundesregierung. Der Blaue Engel wurde 1978 
eingeführt und ist das älteste Umweltzeichen der Welt. Okular ist das 
erste Softwareprodukt, das mit diesem Siegel zertifiziert wurde. Darüber 
hinaus ist Okular das erste jemals öko-zertifizierte Computerprogramm 
innerhalb der 30 Organisationen des Global Ecolabelling Network!


Okular wurde unter der GPLv2+-Lizenz veröffentlicht, ist also eine freie 
und quelloffene Software und erfüllte somit bereits viele der Kriterien 
der Benutzerautonomie, die für die Verleihung des Blauen Engels 
erforderlich sind. Es wurde weiter daran gearbeitet, dass Okular alle 
Kriterien des Blauen Engels erfüllt und offiziell anerkannt wird, da es 
Transparenz beim Energie- und Ressourcenverbrauch bietet, die 
potenzielle Hardware-Lebensdauer von Geräten verlängert und die 
Autonomie der Nutzer*innen ermöglicht.


Heute feiern wir diese Erfolge gemeinsam mit der Free Software 
Foundation Europe [1] sowie mit der Informatikabteilung des 
Umwelt-Campus Birkenfeld [2], wo Forscher*innen den Ressourcen- und 
Energieverbrauch von Okular und anderer KDE-Software gemessen haben.


KDE und die Freie-Software-Community möchten den Okular-Entwicklern ein 
herzliches Dankeschön dafür aussprechen, dass sie umweltfreundliche 
Software für uns alle entwickelt haben!

press release feedback | "First Ever Eco-Certified Computer Program: KDE's Popular PDF-Reader Okular"

[Joseph P. De Veaugh-Geiss]

Dear Okular developers, dear KDE e.V. Board!

First and foremost, thank you to the Okular developers for making such 
an excellent document viewer -- and one that is now officially 
recognized for its sustainable software design! In February 2022 Okular 
received the Blue Angel ecolabel, the official environmental label 
awarded by the German government. This is wonderful news, and I want to 
congratulate you and the larger KDE community on this achievement!


At the link below you will find the press release. I would like to 
publish it soon. Before doing so, though, I want to get your opinion on 
the text. Is there anything critical that is missing? Is there something 
that is misleading or that you would remove? The text is in its final 
revisions, so I would like to keep changes to a minimum, but your 
feedback is needed so the work of Okular developers and the KDE 
community is best represented.


/Important/: please send feedback by *Thursday 10 March* at *13:00 CET* 
(in 3 days). If that is not possible for you, be in touch. I certainly 
do not want to exclude anyone, but we would like to release the text 
sooner rather than later.


Press release link: https://collaborate.kde.org/s/nGtcmX7eiLKJQDD

I look forward to your feedback!

Your KDE Eco community organizer,
Joseph

community meet-up early September? | KDE Eco

[Joseph P. De Veaugh-Geiss]

My apologies for cross-posting!

Hello everyone,

Interested in working toward environmentally friendly software and energy 
efficiency in FOSS? I would like to invite you to an online community meet-up!

Let's find a suitable date and time during the first/second week of September 
at 
this Dudle:

  https://dudle.inf.tu-dresden.de/be4foss-community/

Preliminary topics for the meet-up include:

 - Presenting the FEEP/BE4FOSS projects.
 - Continuing the conversation from the BoF on energy efficiency at Akademy 
2021 
(notes: https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/energy-efficiency/2021-June/03.html).
 - Discussing how to measure energy consumption of software (e.g., dedicated 
measurement labs, automation, etc.).
 - Certifying FOSS/KDE software with the Blauer Engel eco-label.
 - Your ideas!

KDE Eco is the umbrella term for the two KDE programs (i) "Free & open source 
Energy Efficiency Project" (FEEP) and (ii) "Blauer Engel for Free & Open Source 
Software (BE4FOSS)". The projects aim to provide guidelines and support to 
KDE/FOSS communities in the development of eco-friendly software. This 
includes  optimization of software so it uses less energy when running, for 
example, or  so that it can run on older or less powerful hardware, thus 
generating less waste.

Work on energy efficiency in FOSS has already started:

 - The energy consumption for the KDE applications KMail, Okular, and Krita 
has been measured and analyzed.
 - KMail is currently under evaluation for Blauer Engel certification, others 
to follow soon (namely Okular).
 - KDAB is planning to open a dedicated measurement lab in Berlin, Germany.
 - Students and researchers at various universities continue working on energy 
efficiency in software.

Software efficiency means resource efficiency: let's work together to support a 
resource-efficient, free software future.

You can get involved by helping with the following:

 - Developing automation tools for measurements and analysis.
 - Getting KDAB Berlin and other community measurement labs set up.
 - Squashing 'efficiency' bugs (CPU spikes, delays, hangs, etc.).
 - Submitting your software for Blauer Engel certification.
 - Your ideas!

Looking forward to meeting many of you soon!

Test document added as attachment. It still shows the same issue. Adobe Reader
works fine, okular doesn't work.

This problem still exists even in latest KDE neon LTS 5.8:
KDE Plasma: 5.8.6
KDE Frameworks: 5.32.0
Qt Version: 5.32.0
Okular Version: 1.0.3

How is this possible that such an basic tool is broken since 7 years?

I'd like to have a go at this bug...

I've compiled the program, but I think that the shell/okular file is using the
okularpart from my distribution's okular package. So, how can I make okular
load the 'okularpart' which was compiled with it? Do I need to install it in
/usr/local? I would prefer installing it some directory in my $HOME though..

[Okular-devel] [okular] [Bug 175485] Does not conform to Adobe pdf specification

[p]

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=175485

--- Comment #6 from p peter.mueller_1...@yahoo.com ---
yeap, no answer for years... I replied 2009 and you 3 years later. Do you think
after 3 years I still have these pdfs? I honor all the work you guys do and
give you a big thank you for that. But if you don't have the time to follow up
on bug reports on a timely manner then close bugzilla and don't pretent that
someone is taking care of bugs. Reporting bugs for KDE and do testing is a
waste of time.
