Hi from Germany/France!

Hi@all!
My name is Frank, and I`m from Berlin, Germany. Better, from Berlin-Pankow, a part of the former "East-Berlin"...
I`m member of the BOINC Team "SetiGermany"

Unfortunately I haven`t found a special board to invite you...
Therefore, I do it here:

As since 2009, we want to build the "Charity Team" again!
I write to tell you that this year`s Charity Contest will crunch for MALARIACONTROL.NET!
The Charity Contest is a joint venture between SetiGermany and l`AllianceFrancophone, but the "Charity Team", who will be founded a few days before the contest starts, by the Admins of SG and `L AF, runs on its own, so the credits achieved will only go to the Charity Team Account.
We invite you to crunch with us for 2 weeks together as the temporary "Charity Team"!
The Contest starts at january 30th, 00.00 MEZ and will end at feb.12th, 23.59 MEZ (to find out what that means to your timezone, look at:http://www.zeitzonen.de/kanada.html
If you have already crunched for Malariacontrol.net, you can build a new Account for the Charity Contest and register it for the "Charity Team", so you can save your credits so far to your Team and the credits achieved during the contest to the Charity Team.
But there`s no duty to do that. If you want, you can switch over to the Charity Team with your old account for this 2 weeks, and switch back again if the contest is over. The idea behind the Charity Contest is just to bring BOINC users as much as possible together, to crunch for a medical/biological projekt as a temporary team.
If you have further questions or want to keep informed or to talk with the rest of the Charity Team, go for http://forum.charity.boinc-af.org/in...board,5.0.html
This board is in english (okay, english at the level I speak), so you can register and tell us europeans about english language...

So, I hope, it will be a great event!

best regards,

lost :mrgreen:

Hi!
I just came in to look what you`re thinking about our invitation :!:

There is only a few days `til the CC starts...
I`ve heard of sleeping bears in canadian winter, but sleeping BOINC users?
BTW: Now we got an official CC-2011-Flag:

Regards, lost :mrgreen:

Hi!
I would like to bring up the mail that Nicholas Maire, Admin of MalariaControl.net has sent to me (and to the whole Charity Team, I think):

Dear lost68er,

Many thanks for the update, and also again for organizing this!

I think that with very few short interruptions, our server dealt well with the increased load due to the high activity - and for the project, this boost came at a very good time, with a lot of demand for CPU time.

We'll very soon post a long-overdue status update, and will give an update on the science, and acknowledge your effort.
Best regards,
Nick
