Project Mycelium

Breaking hardware and software silos for end-to-end sustainability

Today, hardware and software sustainability live in separate worlds. Hardware teams measure embodied carbon. Software teams measure operational emissions. But the reality is messier. Software workloads drive hardware decisions, and hardware efficiency shapes what software can achieve. Project Mycelium exists to bridge that gap by creating a unified data model that connects the dots.

This assembly will bring together a curated group of participants over six weekly sessions to develop a Standard Requirements Document for that data model. You'll work alongside the Hardware Standards Working Group, guided by experienced facilitation, to define how hardware and software sustainability data should relate to each other. The deliverable is concrete: a data model that will become the foundation for a new GSF standard.

All work will happen in the open on GitHub, with structured Miro-based workshops for collaborative problem-solving. You'll receive a participant handout and pre-work before the first session, and every session will build on the last. This is real standards work, not a talking shop.

If you work at the intersection of hardware, software, and sustainability (whether that's infrastructure, data centres, cloud platforms, or embedded systems) this is your opportunity to help define a framework the industry doesn't have yet.
