Yes we are in the process of contacting every major organization in the world that might have a special interest in solving the HIV/Aids crisis. We're trying to do this before December 1, World Aids Day.

The goal of this outreach is: awareness of FightAIDS@Home, awareness of World Community Grid and all the great members, and, perhaps they know of more research projects.

We are also trying to get some of these organizations to agree to be on the partner page. That means they will publish something about World Community Grid on their website and also encourage staff and colleagues to join as members.

Sounds exciting, I hope this takes root. I have begun an email chain among my friends, and asked that they do the same. A small step I know, but every bit helps.

We did a national press release here in Canada just 2 days ago. I have been involved with AIDS in an advocacy role for almost 20 years now. There will be a jump in the number of Canadians and variouos organizations joining over the next few weeks. A number of us were rather saddened but not surprised by the skeptical attitutude. This effort was even broadcast on the National TV network CBC. Once we get them to to the the main website here and check out the FAQ's there is suddenly belief. It simply sounds to good to be true to some. We will get them even one at a time. Putting hyperlinks on Websites or webpages is also effective. Well back to one more press release for weekend reading :)

Have a look at this link. It is a good starting point but you will have to update the text with information about the linux client and the Fighting AIDS At Home project.

If you wanted to post something here, I am sure that we can all check it and make suggestions.

Let us know if there is any other help that we can give.

well i asked their permission first before i posted about it. thankfully they said it was no problem : )

thanks stares!! i'll have a look and see what i can do : )
