I would, too. As a veteran of many design conferences, we often discuss green practices and sustainability, but I have never seen these principles applied to software. Will this include a discussion of interaction as well, or are you thinking it's more of a technical thing?

Same here. Never considered software from a green perspective. Sounds like this should prove to be an interesting talk.

A topic that needs more understanding an is so relevant in this age. I really hope this panel happens; just because we don't work in the energy industry or large-scale manufacturing doesn't mean we don't have our part to do in adopting sustainable, environmentally-sound practices. You go!
