       | Typo?, the sentence doesn't make sense, otherwise a great
       | article.

         | 
         | I also see the Green Web Foundation is a member of the GSF, and
         | I do trust that organization, so this is a genuine question.

       | A fantastic initiative. Sustainability and open source are a
       | natural match. Transparency, broad based availability, the
       | multiplicative effect of interoperability... Open source empowers
       | people, generates trust that is essential in this highly
       | contentious transition and helps everybody rise to the challenge.
       | 
       | Godspeed.

       | Is this report aligned with a US-West security point of view,

       | (Github,AWS) based on geopolitical affiliation? or ...
       | 
       | The declaration of "a database" smells fishy from this USA
       | California desk. Climate has no partisan affiliation - keywords
       | "existential threat"
