 The catalog of green software patterns is an online open-source database of software patterns reviewed and curated by the Green Software Foundation across a wide range of categories. Any software practitioner can find the patterns related to their field, technology, or domain. Anyone can submit a pattern that triggers a detailed review process by the Foundation. You can be confident that applying any patterns that have completed that process will reduce your software emissions.
 
-The intention is that patterns are vendor agnostic, for instance there should not be Azure, AWS and GCP patterns. There should be generic cloud patterns which could be applied to specific vendors, but the patterns themselves are vendor agnostic. We encourage specific platforms/vendors to create vendor-specific versions of these patterns for their specific products on their platforms.

 To use the patterns, head to https://patterns.greensoftware.foundation and search for your field or technology. Each pattern is atomic and applicable to real-world situations and applications.

 ### Consistency Review
-Every quarter the dev branch is merged to the main branch and this triggers a consistency review where anyone in the Foundation has 2 weeks to comment or object. We need GSF wide consensus for the patterns to be published.
