I’ve been waiting for months for the Hydrogen@Home project to open up enrollment. Well, they finally have and I’ve joined, so if you’re interested, feel free to join me. Just don’t forget to join the team as well.

Read Volunteer Computing and the Search for Big Answers, an article about BOINC and volunteer computing on LinuxInsider.com.

Well, February was a good month overall, even though we didn’t get the second new team member. As a team, we continue to climb the BOINC rankings and about a week ago we started climbing into uncharted territory. We broke into the top 14000! We are on pace to break the top 100 on MalariaControl by the end of May.

I’ve offered goals for the past two months, but I think it’s someone else’s turn. Anyone have a goal we should strive for this month?

Scientific progress goes BOINC! Read about the Scientific publications of BOINC-based projects.

Thanks to a new team member earlier in the month, things are going very well for us. We are well on our way to the top 100 on MalariaControl and we are coming closer every day to setting a new team daily record. The past two days have been the 5th highest total we’ve ever had and today we were only 8 point away from hitting our 4th best. Great job!

Remember though, I was hoping to add 2 new members before the end of the month, so we still need one more and we’ve only got 3 days left.

We’re getting very close to breaking into our top 5 scoring days. Keep up the good work and don’t forget to bring in new members if you can. I expect we’ll break our top 5 for Malaria and overall BOINC before the end of the month.

I would like to welcome Erik Hauser as our newest member. His first project is Malaria Control, but I’m sure he’ll be branching out soon. Since I set a goal for two new team members for the month, we’re half way there. We still have two weeks left, so let’s see what we can do.

On a side note, since we’re growing, I want to add a blogroll of our personal pages. If you’d like to have yours included, feel free to send me the address.

Where is BOINC headed? Marcin Cieslak’s vision: BOINC on JXTA.

We’ve done it again… another big jump. In fact we set another 2008 record with 1078 points. Good job guys, keep up the good crunching.

• The TSP project is featured in International Science Grid This Week: Traveling salesman meets distributed computing.
• BOINC has broken the PetaFLOP barrier! According to BOINCStats, 106 million units of credit were granted yesterday, which translates to 1.06 PetaFLOP/sec. Congratulations to all projects and participants.
