I’m announcing today at the Mesh 07 conference a small initiative that I am helping Zerofootprint co-ordinate.

DarkGreenPC is a non-profit, community organized open source project inspired by Seti@Home and Distributed.net where we are going enable people to optimize the power usage of their computers collectively and turn energy saving into a social activity.

I’m an advisor to Zerofootprint and my friend Ron Dembo and I presented this idea at an meeting on initiatives to combat climate collapse organized by John Doerr at the TED conference and got incredible support for the project.

We are now looking to hire an open source product leader.

Here is a small Standout Job advertisement for the position.

We’ll be posting more details on an upcoming project blog at DarkGreenPC.org. For more information on the project you can see this information at Zerofootprint.
