Looking Ahead: What to Expect

We're excited to share our future plans with you. Your insights and ideas are instrumental in shaping its future.

Plugin & Manifest Hub

We're developing a centralized hub for your plugins and example manifest files, fostering a vibrant and collaborative environment. This platform will be your go-to resource to discover, use, and develop your work, strengthening our collective impact.

SCI-FI Day

Later in the year, with your help, we'll build a solution that opensource maintainers can drop into their CI/CD pipelines to calculate the SCI score and generate an impact.yml in the root of their repos.

We aim to normalize software impact measurement in opensource, paving the way for broader adoption across the industry. On SCI-FI Day, we'll encourage as many opensource projects as possible to measure their emissions.

Measure GSF

The Impact Framework isn't limited to measuring software—it can assess products, software, or even entire organizations.

We'd love to use it to measure our environmental impact as a foundation, including our online meetings, in-person meetings, travel, websites, and tooling. We'll release a manifest file with all the observations we can gather. We would love your input on how to induce those observations into impacts.

If we want a future where every organization is truly transparent and open in accounting for impacts, we choose to lead by example so others can follow suit.
