LUGOD Members and Friends,

Join LUGOD this month for a special presentation about the Linux
Foundation Energy project with Dr. Lorenzo Kristov, an electricity
sector specialist, and LFE founder and Executive Director Dr. Shuli
Goodman. Dr. Goodman will share the vision and potential of LF Energy
to accelerate the decarbonization of our economies with a remote
presentation via Zoom.

Shuli Goodman is the founder and Executive Director of LF Energy, a
Linux Foundation project that supports open source innovation in the
energy and electricity sectors. LF Energy's ambition is to accelerate
the energy transition and the decarbonization of the world's
economies. Having spent the early part of her career enabling some of
the world's largest companies in the world to become Internet ready,
she has brought her digital-first, cross-industry background to the
electricity sector. With a doctorate in Organizational Systems focused
ion innovation and the energy transition, Shuli has a uniquely
multi-disciplinary approach to solving complex, interdependent
problems. She has nearly three decades experience in the startup and
ongoing support of governance and multi-stakeholder engagement bodies
that have been convened to enable decision-making and provide steering
capacity for high-visibility and/or high-risk initiatives. Her goal is
to inspire, train, and enable 10,000 developers, in the next 10 years,
to digitally transform the world's power systems. Shuli lives in
Graton, California.

Linux Foundation Energy (LFE) is an open source initiative, focused on
the power systems' sector, overseen and hosted at The Linux
Foundation. LFE provides a neutral, collaborative environment to build
the digital foundations that enable the 'electrification of everything
to scale' to transform the world's relationship to energy. The
digitalization of power systems enables a renewable and distributed
energy future where wind, solar, batteries, and hydro provide the
electrification capacity that enables humanity to address climate
change, the transition to fossil-free transportation, and the
urbanization of world populations.

Lorenzo Kristov and colleagues develop policy proposals to accelerate
decarbonization and create greater resilience by implementing advanced
community energy systems throughout the state; was principal of market
and infrastructure policy at California ISO 1999-2017; his work and
publications envision a future highly distributed power system and
address T-D coordination; open-access DSO models; layered grid
architecture; infrastructure planning. Lorenzo lives in Davis.
