The document summarizes a presentation given at an event in Brussels on January 17, 2019 about green IT cities and the Green Digital Charter. It discusses how ICT can help cities become more energy efficient and environmentally friendly but also has its own carbon footprint that increases with more usage. The Green Digital Charter is an initiative for cities to improve quality of life through digital solutions, including deploying ICT pilots and decreasing the ICT sector's direct carbon footprint. Over 50 European cities representing more than 27 million citizens have signed onto the Charter.
Every technology goes through a number of transformations during its lifetime. And this is true for the humble lamppost. In Europe there are some 60-90 million of them lining the streets of our cities. And more than 75% of them are 25 years or older. Now is their time: doing more with this modest city asset to ‘bootstrap’ smart city services presents a real and rapid opportunity. What then needs to be done?

Solutions for Energy Management & Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) in ICT field ICT FOOTPRINT .eu
ICTFOOTPRINT.eu organised its 5th webinar on 27th April 2017, 12:00 PM CEST to help you manage the energy consumed by ICT and know how Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) can guide you to make your ICT more sustainable. All those who want to become more sustainable in ICT are welcome to watch this exciting webinar.
Jean-Marc Alberola, Group Energy Strategy leader at Airbus & Vice Chairman of ETSI ISG OEU (Industry Specification Group Operational Energy Efficiency For Users). Jean-Marc spoke about the work developed by ETSI ISG-OEU, operative KPIs that enable the monitoring of the energy management performance in data centres and ICT sites. After a short description of the global KPI DCEM, the presentation focused on the implementation of these KPI’s in an industrial area of corporate ICT sites.
Fadri Casty & Tereza Lévová, both from EcoInvent, the world's most consistent & transparent Life Cycle Inventory database. The ecoinvent database provides well documented process data for thousands of products, helping you make truly informed decisions about their environmental impact. Fadri and Tereza demonstrated the value of doing LCA on ICT equipment.
Berina Delalic, from multEE will introduce the Monitoring & Verification Platform (MVP), a web based tool developed to calculate and store data about energy and CO2 savings resulting from implemented energy efficiency measures. Having in mind central role of ICT especially in the commercial sector, some methods are developed for improving ICT’s energy efficiency, and therefore achieving CO2 emission reduction. The presentation will demonstrated how MVP can be used for measuring results from the activities that enable more efficient use of energy for ICT in commercial buildings.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

Why is it difficult to have ‘green IT
cities’?
“ICT promises to solve our problems, how can it be a
problem in itself?”
Cities don’t understand the size of the problem
‘ICT Environment Financial’ departments
Standard methodologies are usually difficult, demanding
and time-consuming to apply
Difficult to calculate gains and losses of a given solution
Many of the solutions require a re-thinking and
behavioural change
…benefits are unclear and green IT is never a priority

What is the Green Digital Charter?
The Green Digital Charter aims to improve the quality of
life in cities through the use of digital solutions.
Four commitments undersigned by the signatory-cities:
- Work with other Green Digital Charter signatories to promote
the best applications and results of ICT solutions
- Establish local partnerships to implement the Green Digital
Charter 's commitments, and to make these central elements of
the cities' wider strategies
- Deploy five large-scale and replicable ICT pilots per city within
five years and communicating the impact of these to citizens
and local stakeholders
- Decrease the direct carbon footprint of the ICT sector by 30%
per city within ten years.
