Bonus episode: Grid-aware Websites Project

Welcome back to Sustain WP, a limited podcast series about digital sustainability and WordPress. I'm your host Nahuai Badiola, a freelance WordPress Developer based in Barcelona and active WordPress community member. In the original intro I also said that I was part of the Sustainability Team and a Green Web Foundation fellow. But now I'm former Sustainability Team Rep, since the team was closed, and also finished my Green Web Foundation fellow, this was expected and indeed I kept a relationship with the Green Web Foundation, as you'll see soon enough. As you can see things have changed from the last episode back on November of 2023. I'm not going to expand here why or how the WordPress Sustainability was closed. If you are interested on knowing more about it I recommend you to listen to the Green IO podcast episode where Gael interviewed Nora, Csaba and I, the former team reps about how all the events went down. This podcast series has been always about sharing my journey learning about digital sustainability and WordPress. And I've been involved on a project where I learned a lot and has some potential so I wanted to share it with you. By the way, I was really happy to see that the podcast have had more than 15.000 listens. Pretty cool. So, the project I'm refering to it's the grid-aware websites proposed by, yes you guessed it, the Green Web Foundation. The project run for almost a year, I was part of the advisory board and as a result of it I created, together with Nora Ferreirós, a grid-aware WordPress plugin. But I thought that better than listen to me rambling about this amazing project I could bring back Hannah Smith who is the Director of Operations of the Green Web Foundation and one of the people behind the project to talk about it. You can find the audio transcript of the talk with Hannah Smith below.
