In today's rapidly evolving technological landscape, the pursuit of scalability often goes hand in hand with the responsibility to address environmental sustainability. This presentation dives into the compelling intersection of scalability and environmental impact within the realm of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) projects.

FOSS initiatives are renowned for their community-driven innovation and inclusivity, but as these projects grow, their energy consumption and carbon footprint can escalate. Our talk embarks on a journey that explores how FOSS projects can navigate this challenge while maintaining their commitment to accessibility and diversity.

We will delve into real-world examples of FOSS projects that have successfully integrated scalability with sustainable practices. From optimizing code to selecting energy-efficient infrastructure, we will uncover strategies that not only enhance scalability but also contribute to a more eco-friendly digital landscape.

Attendees will gain insights into:

1. Identifying potential environmental impacts of scaling FOSS projects.
2. Leveraging energy-efficient architecture and infrastructure choices.
3. Balancing performance requirements with environmental responsibility.
4. Aligning FOSS principles with sustainable development goals.
5. Empowering FOSS communities to embrace scalable yet eco-conscious approaches.
