Hey all, I'm not sure what people will think of this message, and it is no more than a very rough discussion starter, but I thought I'd speak up and see if anybody was interested. How much consideration does Fedora put into its impact on the wider world? One specific example might be our servers: * What are their PSUs like? I know some can be very wasteful while others incredibly efficient. * Who are the electricity suppliers for them? Again, some are more efficient than others, and some will get more from renewable sources than others. Here in the UK, there are companies who guarantee that for every unit of energy used, they'll produce one unit from a renewable source - and they even match your current suppliers rates. What about where Fedora's accounts are held? * Many banks will invest in arms companies, sweatshops etc and other ethically dubious organisations * Some banks hold an ethical policy where they explicitly state what kind of projects your money is invested in, and guarantee not to invest in some groups What about the impact of FUDCon? I think we're already heading in a good direction with more FUDCons being held around the world, but it's something we might want to consider. Interested to hear people's thoughts, Jon _______________________________________________ fedora-advisory-board mailing list fedora-advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-advisory-board
