Greening Digital With Django
06-05, 14:40–15:10 (Europe/Madrid), Auditorium

In this talk, we'll cover:

  1. How carbon emissions result from our use digital services, and why people are paying more attention
  2. How they are measured and estimated, and common tools used to do so, especially for pythonistas
  3. Why Django is well placed to be the greenest framework out there, with examples a leading django project

This talk is a companion to the workshop "Greening Digital - how to set up your django app with green coding metrics in CI", it provides an easy introduction to developers taking their first steps into the world of digital sustainability.

It will also provide ways to make sense of the fast growing range of tools being built to help organisations undestand and manage the carbon emissions associated with their softwarem with a particular focus on open source tools that django developers can use, or might even already have installed on their laptops already.

Audiences will leave with clear ideas of what options exist out there, and what steps they might take to continue their journey as djangonaughts exploring digital sustainability.
