The community is growing very slowly. We should come together and create a challenge to bring more people to the project. we will reach 1 million people this year. Publicize the project on social networks, with friends. Let's make this project the best project in the world. Publicize the project!

This is not something that can be advertised. It is something that all participants can help with. If everyone recruited 1 person, that would double the participants.
They don't have to be interested in the same projects as you. Any extras for any of the projects help. And hopefully they stay when the project that they are interested in finishes. A good potential source of recruits would be any charities associated with any of our projects. Convince the charities to publicise it among their supporters and we should be on fertile ground.

Mike I tried that once but got zero replies. Some years ago I contacted a magazine about PC's, I think they even talked to IBM. They told me it would be published but honestly, I found nothing online. Maybe it was print only or maybe they just didn't publish at all.  - AMD Ryzen 5 1600AF 6C/12T 3.2 GHz - 85W - AMD Ryzen 5 2500U 4C/8T 2.0 GHz - 28W - AMD Ryzen 7 7730U 8C/16T 3.0 GHz |

Hello,
yes, there are methods of spreading the word about the projects. Put " I support Worldcommunitgrid.org with my computer" on your "Visitenkarte". Do not know the Eglish word right now. A Visitenkarte is a little card with your adress and phone number printed on it. You give such a Visitenkarte to guests of a meeting, a party and so on. Best Martin |

Put " I support Worldcommunitgrid.org with my computer" on your "Visitenkarte". The word you're looking for, Martin, is "visiting card" or "business card"  , according to my dictionary.  |

"Business Card" is the correct term.
