smile advertise the project wherever you can

Hello,

i joint the project recently but it was a coincidence because i visited the grid.com website and i knew about the new proteome folding project. I was also member in the "cure for cancer project" for about 2 years which included "Antrax" screening also. My suggestion to wcgrid is to make some banners, so that the people can put this banners on their websites to advertise the project. I think most of the people who participated in the "cure for cancer project" (more than 2 millions) are also inclined to help in that new project too. Until we have more support in newspapers and internet publications we have to make word of mouth advertising. If you have a good website and you give a good free of charge support for people ask them to contribute also, but in the wcgrid way. So at least we can all benefit from the acceleration of science. In the future grid technology will have an important roll in science due to there are more computers, faster networks and more internet users on earth every year. Let,s harness this power today for future generations and let the people get more familiar with the benefits of grid technology. Please consider also that not everyone who is possibly able to help speaks english. Consider at least to give a chance for the different nation member teams to advertise the project in their language on their homepages. Lets participate the chinese people more frequently. A must for me is (english, spanish, french, german, chinese, japanese, arabic, portuguese and russian language). Links for different languages directly from the wcgrid website. You enter http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org from where you can choose you language. E.g http://www.sedo.nl/ or directly http://www.worldcommunitygrid.de only changing the local top level domain.

best wishes from Barcelona

Re: advertise the project wherever you can

Thank You Abulavia

There have been previous requests for banners, more press releases and advertising on the project.

http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread?thread=878#3816

We hope they will be provided at a future date. As this project is "officially" little more than a month old, I think the WCG project team has been quite busy with fine tuning the agent. Other features will surely follow.

IBM currently owns the copyright for the term "World Community Grid" and the logo. I know of no restrictions to it use as long as it is in support of the project. But then I am no expert on copyrights.

There have also been requests for Forums in languages other than English. As the project becomes more mature we hope these too can be provided.

Thank you for your comments and support.

Re: advertise the project wherever you can

Hello Dataman,

thank you for you advise about the banners so everyone can customize these banners for their languages. Important is also a brief explication in many languages what grid computing is, what benefits it has for all human beings on earth and the aims of the actual project. As many people we can interest today in that new way of charity, as more projects in benefit of affordable science we can set up in the future in less time. Like me i am a second offender in a positive grid way.

best wishes

Abulavia wink
