First, I owe a very big thank you to everyone who helped &#8211; to <a title=\"Spencer's homepage\" href=\"http:\/\/www.cc.gatech.edu\/~spencer\/\" target=\"_blank\">Spencer<\/a> for co-presenting and lots of follow up work; to my grad students, <a title=\"Jon's blog\" href=\"http:\/\/skoolr.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Jon<\/a>, <a title=\"Alicia's blog\" href=\"http:\/\/normallyon.wordpress.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Alicia<\/a>, <a title=\"Carolyn's blog\" href=\"http:\/\/carolynresearch.wordpress.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Carolyn<\/a>, and <a title=\"Jorge's blog\" href=\"http:\/\/catenary.wordpress.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Jorge<\/a> for rehearsing the material with me and suggesting many improvements, and for helping advertise and run the brainstorming session; and of course to everyone who attended and participated in the brainstorming for lots of energy, enthusiasm and positive ideas.<\/p>\n<p>First action as a result of the session was to set up a google group, <a title=\"SE-for-the-planet Google Group\" href=\"http:\/\/groups.google.com\/group\/se-for-the-planet\" target=\"_blank\">SE-for-the-planet<\/a>, as a starting point for coordinating further conversations. I&#8217;ve posted the talk slides and brainstorming notes there. Feel free to join the group, and help us build the momentum.<\/p>\n<p>Now, I&#8217;m contemplating a whole bunch of immediate action items. I welcome comments on these and any other ideas for immediate next steps:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Plan a follow up workshop at a major SE conference in the fall, and another at ICSE next year (waiting a full year was considered by everyone to be too slow).<\/li>\n<li>I should give my part of the talk at U of T in the next few weeks, and we should film it and get it up on the web.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Write a short white paper based on the talk, and fire it off to NSF and other funding agencies, to get funding for community building workshops<\/li>\n<li>Write a short challenge statement, to which researchers can respond with project ideas to bring to the next workshop.<\/li>\n<li>Write up a vision paper based on the talk for CACM and\/or IEEE Software<\/li>\n<li>Take the talk on the road (<em>a la<\/em> Al Gore), and offer to give it at any university that has a large software engineering research group (assuming I can come to terms with the increased personal carbon footprint \ud83d\ude09<\/li>\n<li>Broaden the talk to a more general computer science audience and repeat most of the above steps.<\/li>\n<li>Write a short book (pamphlet) on this, to be used to introduce the topic in undergraduate CS courses, such as computers and society, project courses, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Phew, that will keep me busy for the rest of the week&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and I managed to post my <a title=\"My ICSE 2009 Flickr set\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/steve_easterbrook\/sets\/72157618821129308\/\" target=\"_blank\">ICSE photos<\/a> at last.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Okay, I&#8217;ve had a few days to reflect on the session on Software Engineering for the Planet that we ran at ICSE last week.
