Chris Adams is joined by Thibaud Colas; product lead at Torchbox, president of the Django Software Foundation, and lead on Wagtail CMS. They explore the role of open source projects in tackling digital carbon emissions and discuss Wagtail's pioneering carbon footprint reporting, sustainable default settings, and grid-aware website features, all enabled through initiatives like Google Summer of Code. Thibaud shares how transparency, contributor motivation, and clear governance can drive impactful sustainability efforts in web development, and why measuring and reducing emissions in the Python ecosystem matters now more than ever.Learn more about our people:Chris Adams: LinkedIn | GitHub | WebsiteThibaud Colas: LinkedIn | WebsiteFind out more about the GSF:The Green Software Foundation Website Sign up to the Green Software Foundation NewsletterResources:Wagtail CMS [01:46]Web Almanac | HTTP Archive [08:03]Google Summer of Code [11:07] Wagtail RFCs [19:51] A Gift from Hugging Face on Earth Day: ChatUI-Energy [27:55]PyCon US [36:07]Grid-aware websites - Green Web Foundation [39:22] Climate Action Tech [41:07] Agent Bedlam: A Future of Endless AI Energy Consumption? - My Framer Site Here's how re/insurers can curb GenAI emissions | Reinsurance Business If you enjoyed this episode then please either:Follow, rate, and review on Apple PodcastsFollow and rate on SpotifyWatch our videos
