A university-museum joint research group I'm involved with was interested, but we found that it was a requirement to get the entire university and/or museum to promise to run BOINC on all of their machines.
I'd like to confirm that we do
not require the research organization to run BOINC on their machines.
If the group you're involved in is interested in running their work on World Community Grid, you can get more information about our requirements and process here:
http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/research/viewSubmitAProposal.do. And if they have any questions/concerns, please encourage them to
contact us .
Implicitly they are saying: "We're not going to risk our infrastructure for security and whatever, but if 3rd party volunteers get exposed by 'our' science application [which it is!], we're all fine. Think it's an excellent condition to get the chaff separated from the grain. A++ to whoever the facilitator was that came up with this test, to include user impairing... not fit to run on their in-house grid, not fit to run on volunteer devices.
That's not what the requirement was, quote "but we found that it was a requirement to get the entire university and/or museum
to promise to run BOINC on all of their machines". That's a test, to promise, nothing enforcing and they failed miserably, nothing in detail info as to what was expected, doubtlessly non-mission critical 'desktop' is the target of any BOINC project.
