World Community Grid will shortly pass 200 million results. This means that since the launch of World Community Grid, every second of every minute, approximately 2 to 3 results are returned to World Community Grid, and one in every hundred of those results was returned by a Team UserFriendly.Org member.
To celebrate this epic milestone, two things are happening:
- The member who returns the 200 millionth result will receive a World Community Grid T-shirt and a Thank You certificate.
- A Team Challenge has been started: THE 200 MILLIONTH RESULT RACE. Team UserFriendly.Org is entered!
This is a perfect opportunity for me to thank all our members. You're doing a great job! It's also an opportunity to remind ourselves why we do this, and why it is so important. Our current projects work on cancer, AIDS, dengue fever, malnutrition and many other humanitarian issues. We are making a difference! A number of scientific papers have been published, showing advances in our understanding of how to combat these diseases. More practically, the first cancer project we tackled has resulted in a new diagnostic tool that can make a real difference in the outcome for cancer patients today.
If you haven't joined already, please join Team UserFriendly.Org now. If you signed up before, starting to contribute again is easy. Just reinstall the software and go. If you forgot your username or password, you can recover them.
The race is on!
Note: as a Community Advisor, I'm not eligible for any of the team captain prizes.
