@jawache recommendation for slight re-framing: How can I get a job in Green Software?

There are people in our audience

"If your job title has sustainability and software in it, we'd love to speak to you about an article we are working on" and get their feedback on how they got their job and recommendations they have.

Capturing status during weekly check-in:

• Seeing what questions can be created
• This article would be good to publish closer to the global late summer event with a focus to boost the training

IMDA is actually interested in publishing a similar article/reference piece and so there might be a way to collaborate with them. I also think it's worth us reaching out to Accenture - 10K contacts from Accenture.

So is Pindy at UBS -- but they are looking for more data b/c that's what UBS really wants to capture.

@jawache do you have any reservations about having this be a joint publication with some of our members?

Russ feels confident that this is an article we can develop and share now, as we work on evolving the Patterns & Principles Project. @NAMRATA-WOKE to work on draft and possibly engage IMDA. Namrata will add to the schedule for September.
