> Hey
>=20
> I'm Didi from Green Coding Solutions (green-coding.io). We are a small
> team from Berlin working on reducing the emissions of software.
>=20
> For a research project with the German Federal Environmental Foundation
> we are measuring the environmental impact of all major software

>=20
> The research project:
>=20
> We run Energy ID, a public, open source database that benchmarks the
> energy consumption, CO2 footprint and Green Software Foundation SCI
> metric of widely used software. Essentially a "software bill of
> materials" for energy. You can see it here:
>=20
> https://www.green-coding.io/products/energy-id/
>=20
> What we try to achieve:
>=20
> We measure software by so-called =E2=80=9Cusage scenarios" that represent=
 how
> people actually use it, because the realistic usage scenario is what
> determines a meaningful energy number. As a next step we are now going
> to measure email clients.
>=20
> We would love to have KMail on board!
>=20
> Before we measure anything, we'd value your input: what does typical
> usage look like? Do you have some analytics? For instance, how many
> accounts a typical user has, roughly how many messages per day, IMAP vs
> POP, how often it syncs or checks mail, HTML vs plain text, use of
> search, filters, encryption, and so on. Even a few sentences describing
> your "typical user" would help us build representative scenarios rather
> than guessing.
>=20
> Who is already on board?
>=20
> We already have Tools and Communities from the Open Source Space
> included in the research project included: Nextcloud, curl, MySQL,
> PostgreSQL, Wagtail, =E2=80=A6
>=20
> Let us know.
>=20
> If this turns out to be interesting for you, there's a natural next
> step: measuring your energy use continuously over time, the way
> Nextcloud [0] already does with our tooling.

Once you see something, you can't unsee it.
And once you've seen it, keeping quiet,
saying nothing, becomes as political an act
as speaking out. (Arundhati Roy)
