From Desktops to Data Centers: Sustainable IT - meetup recap

There are people who talk about Green IT, Sustainable IT, etc.. and there are people who DO it.  Joyce Dickerson is the one who DOES green - green IT, green facilities, sustainbale environments.

She is the one who takes all the tools and gadgets and measures before and after electricity consumptions, puts together sophisticated data analysis spreadsheets and educates people on what works, what doesn’t.

Here is a quote from Michele [to Joyce], who attended this meetup:

“… Your talk was great yesterday. I love your hands on approach - going around with your meter and actually measuring! I think there’s an organizational development business case to be written just about how you are trying to implement across the various parts of Stanford and how their area of study informs their decisions. I learned a lot - thank you. “

I am posting powerpoint slides now and will be adding video recording and photos later.


And here is the video:

How to connect with your friends on Twitter.

Thank you so much for attending our meetups for Bay Area Executives ! I truly enjoy meeting and talking to you!

Last night I was asked number of times on how we can find each other on Twitter.

Here is a quick guide:

1. first of all you need to have a twitter id - go to http://twitter.com and register if you do not have one;

2. update your twitter status: “I have attended #baite event!”

3. go to http://search.twitter.com and type #baite

4. click on the twitter ids of folks who you’d like to connect with [from step 3] and click the follow button.

Happy networking!
