When we talk about sustainability in the information and communication technology (ICT), we mostly talk about Green IT or Green Computing. That is, as a matter of fact, a discussion about hardware and, in some minor manner, about energy saving features in operating systems. That's where a lot of resources and money can be saved. But is this all? Sustainability not only respects ecological aspects, but also social ones. One of those projects is the One Laptop per Child (OLPC), that combines a new understanding of hardware and software in a sustainable manner. Things to consider:

| - When we talk about sustainability in the information and communication technology (ICT), we mostly talk about Green IT or Green Computing. That is, as a matter of fact, a discussion about hardware and, in some minor manner, about energy saving features in operating systems. That's where a lot of resources and money can be saved. But is this all? Sustainability not only respects ecological aspects, but also social ones. One of those projects is the One Laptop per Child (OLPC), that combines a new understanding of hardware and software in a sustainable manner. But what does Sustainable Software mean? That's a question nobody focused so far and is hard to define. So this here is meant to be a plattform to discuss this topic and to find a common definition of Sustainable Software. At the end, hopefully, we are able to create a Sustainable Software Label (like the Open Source Initiative for example) and maybe a metric for sustainability in software code. It's a work in progress. Things to consider:
