Founded by Sun Microsystems, OpenEco.org is home for the OpenEco Community which is a global open source online community which provides free and easy to use tools to help participants calculate, track, compare, and reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions, encourage sustainable innovation, and share proven best practices.
This eco-focused community project is connected around carbon accounting & energy efficiency, using an open source and modular platform based on Solaris, Java and MySQL, making it a secure, robust and flexible project environment.
The cost of admission is sharing data, transparently or anonymously, with other community participants. To this end there are two specific ways to participate with OpenEco.org:
Participate:
Register, calculate, and post your company’s GHG emission calculations using the current really cool tools
Create:
We need DEVELOPERS to join OpenEco.org and expand our open source OpenEco Platform by creating new modules which will help us change the world.

Sun Microsystems is a proud sponsor of www.OpenEco.org and has been in the forefront and continues to be a corporate leader in reducing their Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. See Sun Eco Responsibility at http://www.sun.com/aboutsun/environment/index.jsp
The OpenEco Platform has added increased search functionality to the Contact Module allowing the user to narrow searches by topic or if topic is Opened or Closed. New Releases are added all the time; review them at the Release Notes section on the Developers tab at OpenEco.org.
Two months ago our open source OpenEco Platform was used to develop the BC3 site. This past month one additional organization has chosen this platform to create their site based on ease of development and the flexibility of the modules. The site is in final stages of development and testing and will be up within the next few weeks. The site is an internal Sun Microsystems marketing organization.
We’ve now included our Dashboard Module as part of the administrative functions available in our source code located on Java.net. When you download the source code (OpenEco Platform) to develop either new modules for OpenEco.org or to develop your own site using our source code like BC3, the Dashboard module will be part of your download. To view detailed information about this module go to: https://www.openeco.org/dashboard/dashboard/3.
This module allows you to easily edit information under each of the column headings by simply double clicking, making the change, and, when you click somewhere else on the page, saves the changes. The module will also allow you to drag and drop items to share with other team members along with creating “to-do” items for teams or team members.

Wow - this looks fantastic. Mashing environmentalism with opensource... a great idea.
Love this idea... am not a developer , but it almost makes me wish I was- almost !
Is there any plan to focus/ target on key geographic areas of need such as the Pacific Islands - Kiribati/ Tonga?? Kind regards Nick G
