Today I presented a keynote at Valtech’s beautiful offices about ICT & Sustainability.

• First I introduced the concept of sustainability and the kind of problems we are dealing with.
• Then I presented the relationship of ICT and sustainability, both problems and possibilities.
• And finally I argued some concrete actions that can be taken from a IT developer perspective, based on the guidelines for a sustainable internet.

The discussion after the presentation was most interesting, dealing with concrete actions to be made, how to communicate them with clients, technical details as the use of client-side technology versus back-end…

Good vibe and interesting discussion. Looking forward to see further work implementing sustainability ideas and guidelines in their projects.
