Session Abstract: Greening the Conference Circuit
Title
Greening the Conference Circuit
Summary
Hackers and makers, inventors and innovators, evangelists and activists, CXOs and entrepreneurs: Each year thousands of us make our rounds on the FOSS conference circuit. Arriving through environment-punishing air travel, we descend into a banality of over-packaged shwag, glossy brochures, disposable cups and hotel stays. We're a principled, smart and innovative lot - we can do so much better.
Notes
I'll be pestering John Robinson from the Center for Interactive Research on Sustainability, as well as David Suzuki Foundationers for help on this session. I've pitched it for OSCON 2008. Let's see how far it flies. :)
