For fifty years, Moore’s Law drove us into a relentless race: more power, more hardware, more consumption. And software followed the same trend — becoming heavier and more resource-hungry.
Today, that law is reaching its limit. And that’s a good thing, because there’s another way forward: the EROOM methodology — Moore in reverse.
If we regularly optimize our software, we can double the available computing power without changing the hardware.
EROOM means:
Reducing the environmental footprint of digital systems through software sobriety,
Unlocking innovation capacity without exploding costs,
Giving developers back the pride of building elegant and efficient software.
With EROOM, you gain access to a methodology and an open toolbox of shared resources, published under the CC BY-SA 4.0 license — enabling us to move collectively from idea to action.
An Open and Evolving Approach
EROOM is an open-source digital common, developed iteratively and collectively within the Boavizta community.
The project evolves continuously, improves with every meeting, and grows richer thanks to volunteer contributions.
