SIGCIS Carbon Computing Open Meeting | September 2022
Dear SIGCIS community, I am writing to invite you to an open (virtual) meeting on carbon computing this fall, with the tentative date of September 20th, 2022. This will be a meeting place for ongoing conversations between SIGCIS members on the topics of carbon trading, computing waste, and sustainability. We plan to discuss the potential of a collectively written white paper and website on carbon trading, with the aim of publication for Earth Day, 2023. Given that the SIGCIS community leads in research on the environmental and social realities of computing and information, we feel that a community statement would be a powerful intervention. It is furthermore an opportunity to reflect on the decades of climate research generated by members of this community as well as exciting new work in progress. Even if you do not expressly work on these topics, your presence would be much appreciated. If you are interested in this and subsequent meetings, feel free to sign up here <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1SUzF7PTb4Vawi9u2vMEb_GXwAhmDoeLpSReuPcut2dQ/edit?usp=sharing> with your email and/or bio. Alternatively, you are welcome to contact myself or Dr. Andrew Meade McGee McGeeAM@si.edu. Wishing you all a restful summer, Theo -- Theodora Dryer, PhD she/her https://www.theodoradryer.com/ Water Justice + Technology <https://ainowinstitute.org/water-justice-technology.html> @AI Now Institute and @CIEJ Big Data Stream <https://logicmag.io/kids/big-data-stream/>@Logic Magazine
