Hello,

my name is Joseph De Veaugh-Geiss. I am Community & Project Manager of 
the KDE Eco initiative, which focuses on eco-certification and energy 
efficiency in the development of Free Software.

I saw at the LabPlot website that this list is the right place to ask 
questions related to the project.

I am writing now because I am interested in finding interested 
participants to help develop plotting and/or statistics tools for energy 
consumption measurements.

In a few weeks in mid/late July (date tbd) we plan to hold a Sprint to 
measure various KDE programs and further develop the tooling for 
automating the measurement process. Would anyone here be interested in 
joining virtually or in person to work on integrating LabPlot into the 
energy consumption tools?

Of course all other KDE projects and developers are very welcome to get 
involved as well :) It would be great to have you join the KDE Eco project!

Some background: In May we held a Sprint to set up a community 
measurement lab at KDAB Berlin to measure the energy consumption of KDE 
and Free Software. You can read about it here:

One contributor, Volker Krause, has also been hacking power plugs to 
work as inexpensive power meters. He has been using LabPlot to visualize 
the results. You can read his blog posts here:

Volker mentioned he and Alexander Semke had been in touch, and I wanted 
to follow up on that today :)

I look forward to hearing from you!

Cheers,
Joseph
