Dear OGF working group and community group participants and friends, Following on from the successful and well-attended BOF at Supercomputing 2022 on “Addressing HPC’s Carbon Footprint” (https://sc22.supercomputing.org/presentation/?id=bof196&sess=sess314), there will be an open public workshop at UCC/BDCAT 2022 (https://ucc-conference.org and https://bdcat-conference.org) on "Reducing HPC's Carbon Footprint" December 7, 2022 from 5:00-6:30 pm Pacific time. This workshop is part of an effort to create an open public document to capture information on practical steps being taken successfully by a number of HPC centers to reduce their own carbon footprints, and to share information on how to do more on this topic in the future. If you can’t attend the event in person or remotely at the working session time, please register online anyway to receive further information on how to participate in ongoing activities related to this topic. This information will eventually be turned into an Open Grid Forum Community Practice Document as described at https://docs.ogf.org<https://docs.ogf.org/> for long-term access and comment. Volunteers to help produce this document and/or contribute to its content beyond the workshop itself would also be appreciated. Registration for online participation is free at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/daac-2022-reducing-hpcs-carbon-footprint-ticket... and more information on how to get involved even if you can't make this session is available online at https://daac-general.nsfcac.org/daac-2022. This event is co-sponsored by the US National Science Foundation industry/university cooperative research center for Cloud and Autonomic Computing (https://nsfcac.org) and the Open Grid Forum. Please forward this information to any and all colleagues you think may be interested. Thanks and hope to see you there or in the activities that result!
