Hi

The dependency stores are rather large, 2 GB for vs2010 and 650 MB for vs2013. 
The size combined with the poor download rate of 100 kB/s makes cloning them 
take forever, five hours for vs2010.

Considering that there's unlikely much need for the old library versions one 
might try cloning only the HEAD of the repo. Unfortunately that doesn't
work:

git clone --depth 1
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/git/boinc_depends_win_vs2010.git
Cloning into 'boinc_depends_win_vs2010'...
fatal: dumb http transport does not support --depth

It wouldn't be much use for me any more but I'm sure the next person to think 
about hacking BOINC would appreciate if you supported Git's smart http 
transport.

[boinc_dev] White House webcase on citizen science

[David Anderson]

The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy
has been interested in crowdsourcing and citizen science for a while,
and they're organizing an online webcast/forum on Sept. 30:
https://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2015/09/09/open-science-and-innovation-people-people-people

They mention only hands-on projects (like making weather measurements);
there's no mention of volunteer computing.
I'm not sure they're aware of it.
Let's make sure they are; this could help with getting funding for BOINC.

You can help by "sharing your story" about volunteer computing:
https://www.whitehouse.gov/webform/citizen-science-and-crowdsourcing-share-your-stories

Projects: please tell them about your project,
what it's accomplished, and how it benefits from volunteer computing.

Volunteers: please tell them about when and why you've contributed computing 
power,
and to what projects.
If you've participated in other ways (testing, customer support,
translation, etc.) please tell them about that too.

Thanks -- David
