A very warm welcome to our Linux community
----------------------------------------Created at the dawn of the WCG back in 2004, and still going strong in 2015. From Arch to Debian, Ubuntu to Gentoo, RHEL to Sabayon; as we have done for over a decade now, we invite end users, sysadmins, devs and advocates to unite in the quest for free and open scientific knowledge.
If you still aren't a member of a team, please do consider joining us; and if you have any suggestions, do get in touch. We'll be posting regular news and updates here, on our new team community thread. Please do join in (after all, spirited systemd debates aside, we're a friendly bunch at heart  )Thanks to all our contributors; retired and current, old and new. ---------------------------------------- [Edit 5 times, last edit by IlluminAce at Jan 2, 2015 6:05:54 PM] |

and we are making fast inroads into the new UGM project, which aims to publish an open-access database of protein sequence comparisons.

Welcome to team Linux, RAMMIE. Further, I note that you bring a rather considerable amount of processing power with you - on behalf of the rest of the team, your contributions are greatly appreciated!

The WCG statistics charts are rather limited, so here's an interactive graph showing our team's runtime over the years since 2004: Interactive Linux team runtime chart.
----------------------------------------I'll try to keep it updated. ---------------------------------------- [Edit 1 times, last edit by IlluminAce at Nov 9, 2014 12:51:29 PM] |

No account's needed, you can just click the cross in the top right hand corner to dismiss the dialog box.
----------------------------------------I do agree with you though, the design doesn't make it very clear. I've contacted one of the founders of Plotly to ask if it can be improved. Update: he's looking into improving the dialog, and in the meantime provided some new URLs which jump directly to the chart. I've modified the links to use them. ---------------------------------------- [Edit 2 times, last edit by IlluminAce at Nov 9, 2014 12:56:30 PM] |

Fascinating news from Microsoft recently re: the .NET Framework. We'll see, in time, whether this shifts the C#/Java balance. It's certainly the brightest move that MS has made in a while (since copying virtual desktops , package management, rolling feature updates, and Heartbleed).
----------------------------------------Anyway, the graphs are updated, and it's clear to see that RAMMIE is significantly skewing the right-hand-side of the charts. Good crunching!  And for those who haven't seen it already, WCG recently published a rather promising update re: Dengue Fever research. |

Russ Allbery, a distinguished member of Debian's Technical Committee, is the third person to step down from their position (after Joey and Tollef), largely over the voracity of the systemd debate within Debian. As in previous cases, Russ has handled his resignation most cautiously, but one wonders how much farther the black-and-white systemd debate can run without there being further awfully undesirable fallout.
