Thanks for opening this proposal 🎉 I am very excited to see this.

I think the scope is fine if we limit it to GreenOps. IMO the WG should not be about anything tooling wise, just GreenOps scope. That's mentioned in the proposal, but I just want to highlight it 😄. I think the first task of the working group should be to define GreenOps to make the scope even clearer (which kinds of projects, practices, etc. are part of the WG).

Very excited for this as well, also to the discussions that can come out of it! 😺 Totally agree with your clarification, Leo, it's good to keep it scoped to what the main goal of the WG is.

Great initiative. I am looking forward to meet and discuss more about this. I see GreenOps as an evolution of DevOps on the sustainability scope, an in line with Leo's comment, more than the tools, is the cultural shift and adoption of best practices.

@nikimanoledaki, @guidemetothemoon I have added some comments to the google docs file. I like the effort and I think this is an important and interesting topic for the TAG and the wider cloud native community. I think its awesome that you both are taking ownership here ❤️. Before we move on, we need to refine the proposal and the scope a bit more so that we are all on the same page and have a clear idea of where we want this to go. Depending on how the proposal is defined in the end (scope, deliverables, etc.), we might want to start this as a project first and not as a working group. As a project, this effort would be time-limited, i.e., until the deliverables are met, which might be a good fit here. But we can discuss this after we refined the proposal. Sounds good?
