"There is strength in numbers." "Sticks in a bundle are unbreakable." There exist several cliches about the importance of working together, and no one knows the value of collaboration more than FOSS contributors. But perhaps sometimes overlooked is the importance of cross-community collaboration. In this talk I will take a deeper look at the collaborations which were part of KDE Eco's "Opt Green" project, in particular the "End Of 10" campaign. The focus will be on how building alliances with groups outside of KDE opened doors to new audiences and new opportunities. There are two main types of collaborations which I will explore, namely (i) those with other FOSS communities and (ii) those with adjacent communities such as Repair Cafes and environmental groups. What approaches were taken? What were the advantages? And disadvantages? What other opportunities for collaboration are there looking forward?
