Dell Social Innovation Competition and World Community Grid

Dear Members,

Dr. Stan Watowich, Principal Investigator, of the Discovering Dengue Drugs - Together project has placed the following announcement in our forums:

======
Dell Computer and the University of Texas have sponsored a competition asking college kids to suggest ideas to "change the world". One submitted idea was for Dell (and other companies) to pre-install the World Community Grid agent on the computers they sell (much like having pre-installed screen savers or AOL). The goal would be to dramatically increase membership in World Community Grid, since the end-user would simply have to accept or decline running World Community Grid (and avoid the 5 minutes of effort currently required to install World Community Grid software).

If you like this idea, feel free to cast a positive vote for this suggestion at http://www.dellsocialinnovationcompetition.co...iew?id=087800000005G0hAAE
=====

We would be very grateful if you took a moment out of your day and voted for World Community Grid. Thanks!
