rose A cheap and effective way to promote Worldcommunitygrid: Sticker in the rear window of our cars or somwehre else on our cars
Hello,
I always try to make Worldcommunitygrid more commonly known.

Here is a cheap way to get WCG out of the internet into reality:

Everyone is invited to have a transparent sticker in the rear window of his / her car or
somwhere else on his or her car.

Sorry, I cannot (at least not now) send you such stickers, but there are firms
making automobile promotion materials , stickers and so on.

So: Make your car promote WCG, please.

All the best: Kafejka

I'd put a big WCG sticker on the back of my laptop 17" wide screen and flash it out in airport lounges (last spend 6 hours in an area [with access to 220V juice] where at least 1500 people hung out for brief or longer periods, waiting for their connections) and hotspot areas, but here is hoping.

I would bet that if you design one some company will sell them, then everyone can have the same one, instead of each of us having our own design.

How about the one on the Home page? The symbol then WCG, spelled out, then below that "technology solving problems".

How about after the line 'technology solving problems' the NEXT line should be 'thru Distributed Computing'. We are talking a bumper or window sticker here, it must be clear, concise and most of all small but scalable. I am NOT putting a 4 foot by 6 foot sticker on my car but a 4 inch by 6 inch sticker is doable. SekeRob was talking about it on the lid of his 17 inch laptop, that is HUGE for a car window.

I highly doubt many will understand the term "distributive computing", so may be a waste of sticker space. I know I have to explain what it means to even computer geeks, so unless you are driving through silicone valley...I doubt that term would be all that effective.

Well we could 'steal' the phrase 'many hands make short work' and change it a little bit to something like 'many pc's working together to solve the mankinds problems'.

My car has a license plate frame which says 'Crunching For A Cure' bringing attention to my team and hopefully prospective membership.
