BOINC is a finalist for an notable award, and needs votes (by Sunday):

Context: 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 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)

Feel free to comment on the results in this post or share your thoughts in the official BOINC discord/telegram or wherever you connect with the network.

from https://www.sidock.si/sidock/forum_thread.php?id=263 We've successfully achieved 21 milestones in our ongoing drug discovery initiative, and this strong, open, and community-supported drug discovery project is going on. Our research has been routine lately: virtual screening on the same library for a pleiade of corona-related targets. These efforts are however crucial to our research progression. Currently, we're in the process of drafting publications for two of our completed objectives (3CLpro and PLpro) and are setting the stage for upcoming drug targets (here we are also planning a pool where You the participants, will help us decide on the upcoming target work). Last but not least, we thank everyone who has donated cryptocurrency or money. The donations sum up to 639 Euro and 12,140 Gridcoin now. We plan to use them for purchase of compounds and in-vitro screening. As always, we are grateful to all of you for your computational contributions and discussions!

We look forward to the future work on SiDock@home.

Merry Christmas to all and all the best to All!

With best wishes, Natalia, Marko, Črtomir and hoarfrost

Stories like this are why I donate my CPU/GPU time to SiDock/Rosetta/Folding@home. We all can make a difference, even if our contributions are small.

Discussion pro/con encouraged in this thread
