I've copied a couple of comments (not questions) over to the Transition Talk thread.
----------------------------------------Please help us keep this thread focused on questions and answers about the transition. This will help the thread be an easily-read repository of information for current and future volunteers. You can make comments and discuss amongst yourselves in the other thread.

Mere curiosity, but are we getting a new WCG logo along with the new website?
----------------------------------------(I believe the current logo dates from the 2013 "rebranding") 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 [Edit 1 times, last edit by Falconet at Sep 13, 2021 9:40:28 PM] |

1. I want to emphasize the question of whether health related projects will be focused on or even be exclusive in the future. I would love to see more climate related work as well. As there is a vast consensus about climate change induced health related issues (see f.ex. Medical Journals Call Climate Change the ‘Gre...lobal Public Health’(NYT)) this would also be a great fit at the intersection of public health/medicine.
----------------------------------------2. Secondly, I am curious about what to expect in terms of the number of concurrent projects. Surely this will vary over time but is the intention to rather focus on a few major research projects or rather to scale up the number of projects supported via the grid (f.ex. 10+ projects some of which might study the same disease etc) 3. Is there any indication about the composition of the future workload in terms of CPU vs GPU work. Especially in the world of medicine a lot of work increasingly gets deployed on GPUs, be it protein folding, docking or other GPU accelerated molecular simulations. Thx in advance for getting back to me.  AMD Ryzen 3700X @ 4.0 GHz / GTX1660S Intel i5-4278U CPU @ 2.60GHz |

Will there be investment in the social media connection aspects of WCG? For example, the current message that gets posted to Twitter isn't very customisable and doesn't read great for organisations/companies that wish to use it:
"Supporting humanitarian scientific research is important to me. That's why I've donated 1 year of my computer's processing time to @WCGrid. Join me!" Fixing that, adding support for other social networks, maybe APIs to allow easy widget creation for websites (Wordpress plugins, etc) would all be great too but are these kinds of things more or less likely to happen? I guess what I'm asking is, will Krembil show more love to WCG than IBM have? |

Just a quick question for caitilarkin. Are you staying on as the administrator or you also moving on ? (Maybe it is too early to ask this question.)

How much down time are you anticipating due to the move??
Will WCG be down for a day? days? a week? should I make my queue a bit longer so I have some WUs to chew on while you are moving? |
