4) Message boards : Cafe Rosetta : BOINC is a finalist for an notable award, and needs your vote (by Sunday) (Message 109038) Posted 25 Mar 2024 by Contact Post: The World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) is a United Nations-sponsored initiative aimed at harnessing the potential of information and communication technologies to build inclusive and equitable information societies worldwide. BOINC has been nominated for a prize at the 2024 forum, and has passed initial hurdles; the next and last step ("Phase 3") requires public votes. The award would be a very nice boost and validation for BOINC and all our projects; if we can get our communities to vote, we should have a decent shot at this point... Voting is pretty simple, takes just a few minutes; instructions are here. (The deadline for votes is Sunday: 31 March 2024, 23:00 UTC+02:00)

Aggregated, these resources enable cutting edge research across mathematics, biology, physics, quantum chemistry, climate prediction and more. The BOINC Workshop is comprised of three sessions. The first will showcase projects that using BOINC, highlighting the role of citizen participation in advancing scientific research. The second is a forum for BOINC projects to discuss the technology, their accomplishments in the past year, and technical needs moving forward. The third is an open-ended community discussion. Who should attend? The BOINC Workshop is for anyone interested in harnessing science, technology, and online community to advance knowledge and effect change. (Part of the workshop, “Tech Talks” and “Tutorials” will be focused on people running, or interested in running, BOINC projects.) Where is the Event? How do I participate? Where do I sign up? This year’s workshop will be online, via Zoom. Please register to get the event URL. I’d like to present, who do I contact?

11) Message boards : Cafe Rosetta : What's playing on the stereo? (Message 55944) Posted 22 Sep 2008 by Contact Post: On Thursday, September 18, 2008, I heard this beautiful Richard Wright Tribute on the radio: Tribute to Richard Wright David Marsden wrote: marsdenglobal.com Topic: THE MARSDEN THEATRE TRIBUTE Conf: The NEWS From: Marsden Date: September 21, 2008 01:04 AM I rarely post any of the mixes from my show, however the e-mail demands and requests are at an all time high to hear it again. Since the days before Dark Side Of The Moon I have always been a major Pink Floyd fan. And indeed, had the great pleasure to chat with each of them many times and to introduce them at several major concerts. Pink Floyd will never appear together in concert again. For me, I think that may be best. It would be nearly impossible for them to live up to the enormous expectations of the fans. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have been able to see Pink Floyd live about 7 times in various cities.
12) Message boards : Number crunching : A question to the BOINC community... (Message 849) Posted 1 Oct 2005 by Contact Post: What I wanted to ask is how do others handle these sorts of situations? Try to fix what’s broke :) What is the appropriate etiquette required to tell folks to bug off? That's a good start! I can see this as a serious problem for many top users in all BOINC projects. This may deserve an addition to BOINC Rules and Policies page. Something to effect of personal e-mail solicitation between participants is discouraged.
