Unwinnable prices on the internet
Some websites offer a spinning wheel where you, in return for your e-mail address, can win prices and discounts and products.

The Blauer Engel 4 FOSS (BE4FOSS) project from KDE e.V. seeks to collect, summarize, and spread information related to eco-certification and resource efficiency as it relates to FOSS development. In this talk I will focus primarily on the energy consumption of software, which is also the focus of the Free & Open Source Software Energy Efficiency Project, or FEEP for short. I will walk the audience through the 3 steps for obtaining *Blauer Engel* certification: (1) *Measure*, (2) *Analyze*, (3) ...
