Given that this proposal has to do with environmental sustainability, I
don't see a place for it in Contributor Strategy.

I agree that the name should be workshopped to avoid that confusion in
the future.

Dear TOC,

we would like to propose you a new TAG. 

Sustainability is a growing and important topic and can be done effectively only if everyone delivers their part to it. The data centers' global energy consumption, and therefore the reason for CO2 emission, is around 2%. That maybe doesn't sound a lot but is equivalent to Canada or Germany, and is also bigger than the emissions caused by airplanes. 

At the same time, open source gets relevant momentum and can be found in many system implementations or is the foundation modern systems are built on. That's why we would like to propose you the TAG Sustainability. We as a community can lay the foundation for sustainable software, sustainable open source projects and best practices to deliver our part for a positive change in the future.

Please find our proposal here:

We would be more than happy to discuss this with you in the next TOC about the TAG. By questions feel free to reach out to us.

Best regards

Max

Hello everyone!

 As part of my transition into the TOC, I, Emily Fox, stepped down as Co-Chair of TAG-Security, after discussion with the the TAG co-chairs and concurrence from myself and Justin Cormack, they would like to nominate Andrew Martin as Co-Chair for TAG-Security for a 2 year term.

More about Andrew:

Andrew has an incisive security engineering ethos gained building and destroying high-traffic web applications. Proficient in systems development, testing, and operations, he is at his happiest profiling and securing every tier of a cloud native system, and has battle-hardened experience delivering containerised solutions to enterprise and government. He is CEO at https://control-plane.io

 

Andrew has been a contributing member of TAG Security since 2018, in which time he has: authored sections of, and edited, the Cloud Native Security and Supply Chain Security Whitepapers; contributed to CFP review processes; and written and presented the solutions to the TAG Security CTFs -- all along with community friends and colleagues.

Request:
Please consider Andrew Martin for nomination as co-chair to Security TAG.  Personally, Andrew has been a bundle of delight and enthusiasm to work with on a variety of Security TAG projects. I am confident he will be an amazing co-chair and compliment both Brandon's and Aradhna's skills in an outstanding fashion I have come to know him for.

The co-chairs and myself ask that you formally vote and invite the wider community to support this nomination with non-binding votes.
