Last Friday I attended the launch event for the BCS Foundation Certificate in Green IT at their London offices. An interesting event setting out some of the practicalities of how the qualification will work, but more importantly the role that the BCS is taking in leading the drive towards Green IT.

Working in a school, my particular focus is on how we impact at the desktop level – no data centres to worry about; although server virtualisation is a distinct possibility. With over 700 devices, nearly 2000 students and a reach into the community of several thousand people we are ideally placed to be both part of the problem due to size, but ultimately part of the solution when it comes to education.

During the next few months I will begin planning an education programme for the local community much of which will be shared here. For the time being take a look at the Greening your IT workspace resource from the BCS.
