Why the heck would I want a Certificate to hang on my wall? Who sees it? Who know who/what WCG are?
Whereas hundreds see my badges on here and can regognise what I have achieved! Ditch certificates and concentrate on badges.  |

Read it again:) 11.8% want better recognition (slide 6). That's fine. I saw that. Now show me where WCG has agreed to respond to that interest, please. |

Keith Uplinger and Kevin Reed: Update on World Community Grid and Results of our User Participation Study VIdeo for download in .avi format of the presentation at the recent BOINC workshop. 30 mins running time. Variable sound quality. I watched it using VLC on Win 7 and had no problems with the sound. The graphics were a little spotty due to the angle of the camera, but even so there is a ot of information being presented. I enjoyed it. Cheers

I also found it interesting and informative. Could not get it to run on any standard Win 7 or 8 features and had to download VLC.
Nice to be able to visualise our two main posters, Kevin, who I already knew as Kevin, but we now have Keith, instead of the more impersonal Uplinger! All we need now is better info on what the plans are to improve the website/forums and the final reconciliation between BOINC and the old Grid.org software.........please!  |

Variable sound quality. This is a "must watch" for anyone serious about WCG/DC. I too had to use VLC as Windows would not play it. There is a lot of good information here about the survey, WCG priorities and future directions.   |

I converted the file, so if it is not against WCG rules, you can download it as a mp4 or mov file.
----------------------------------------Beware: each of them has 280 MB  Cheers ETA: great presentation, congrats guys and thanks for sharing it with us. ETA2: this video file is much smaller (119 MB) and could also work for you  Crunching@Home since January 13 2000.

I played the file just fine using SMplayer.
