Standards Working Group

Summary

Develop a series of baseline specifications for Green Software.
Ensure that the specifications can be implemented in an interoperable fashion on the computing platforms in widespread use in both developed and developing regions.

We hold weekly meetings on Thursdays @1630 (BST) you can view our minutes here.
To make a proposal for a change in one of our standards, start a thread on the discussions page.
Once the thread has gained some momentum with comments, ideas, and inputs from the rest of the group, convert it to an issue through the option on the right-hand side menu.
Once the issue has sufficient material and agreement from the group on it, create a pull request linking that issue.
Pull requests are reviewed by the group and if there is consensus merged during our weekly calls.

To propose a project, we ask that you create a short project document and gather the interest of at least three people from 2 different member organizations.
Reach out to the chairs, who will add you to the next working group meeting agenda.
If the working group reaches consensus and agrees, your project will be made official and start receiving the support of the Foundation.
However, often it requires several conversations with the working group to evolve your project proposal to a version where everyone is comfortable.
Once launched, the working group will support you in executing your project and source the resources required from the Foundation and its members.
