----------------------------------------Today, the german non-profit organization "Rechenkraft.net e.V." which aims to support public science and developement by the use of distributed computing techniques filed a petition to the german Bundestag (parliament) to donate the spare time of non-critical computer systems for science. The more people sign this petition until 06.01.2009, the higher our weight in parliament will be. 50.000 petitioners (not sure if these petitioners must come from Germany) during the first three weeks would allow us to present our ideas at the committee for petitions in the Bundestag itself. We provide a page on the subject in our wiki for english users, which will be updated periodically. You can find it here: http://www.rechenkraft.net/wiki/index.php?title=Verein:E-Petition/en Deutsch Der gemeinnützige Verein Rechenkraft.net e.V., dessen Ziel die Förderung von Bildung, Wissenschaft und Entwicklung mittels Distributed Computing ist, hat beim Bundestag eine Petition für die Bereitstellung der Rechner von Bundesbehörden für die Forschung mittels Distributed Computing eingereicht. Diese Petition kann seit heute mitgezeichnet werden. Je mehr Unterzeichner wir bis zum 06.01.2009 erreichen um so höher wird unser Gewicht im Petitionsausschuß sein. Mit 50.000 Unterzeichnern innerhalb der ersten drei Wochen hätten wir sogar die Möglichkeit, unsere Beweggründe direkt vor dem Petitionsausschuss im Bundestag in Berlin darzulegen. Für Hintergrundinformationen folgt bitte folgendem Link zu unserem Wiki: http://www.rechenkraft.net/wiki/index.php?title=Verein:E-Petition ![]() |

Awesome overextension of Europeanism, not even a nationality check. Registered, got email and signed in. Let me rummage and see what else there is that can use help to further other petitions. More windmills, speed limit on the German Autobahn, max 90 fuer alle Bundeslaender ;>)
----------------------------------------Yes, this one got my vote too: https://epetitionen.bundestag.de/index.php?ac...n;sa=details;petition=869

This is a great idea! I'd love to see more computer cycles be harvested. Have you posted this petition at Seti.Germany? I'm sure you could gain a lot of support and signatures there. How would you choose which project(s) to run on so many computers?
Viel Glück! |
