#52 Sustainability at WordPress: an update with Csaba Varszegi, Nahuai Badiola, and Nora Ferreiros
“Today I learned that we have a sustainability team.Thank you for your effort in this area, looking at results of the team so far, and the ROI of time invested, it's probably a good time to officially dissolve the team entirely”.
In 3 sentences, almost 3 years of work from the WordPress Sustainability Group vanished and their Slack channel archived on the spot. To get clarity on what happened at WordPress and to understand what a WordPress practitioner can do to reduce the environmental footprint of her digital services, Gaël Duez welcomes 3 of the 4 founders of the original sustainability team: Csaba Varszegi, Nahuai Badiola, and Nora Ferreiros.
In their much more nuanced exchange that could have been expected due to the current situation, they covered many topics including:
👏 The power of applause to kick start a sustainability team
🔧 How changing HTTPS check made WordPress save 471 kWh / month
🌱 The importance of having sustainability tools as close as possible to software practitioners tools
🏛️ The subtle art of creating a foundation while keeping control over it via intellectual property
🎁 How to “enforce” contribution in an open source community
And much more!
