Welcome to the #KNGS wiki
The #KNGS aims to share knowledge, create awareness about the potential in green software and thus creating a demand driven market. Participating in the #KNGS requires no fee. The ambition is modest: organizing workshops, routing research, matching hosts and research fellows. RVO.NL initiated this plan by providing financial support and selecting Software Improvement Group (SIG) to chair the initiative. First participants are: TNO, VU University Amsterdam, Amsterdam GreenIT, SIG, Rabobank, RVO (AGNL) and CapGemini.
