Howdy, First - this is of course not a TDF official team.
BOINC, I'm guessing many of you know what this is. A distributed system where people can dedicate some CPU/GPU cycles from their computers for the computation needs of certain academic projects. For those who do not some details available here: https://boinc.berkeley.edu/ BOINC supports creation of teams and these teams can if they choose take part in challenge contests with other teams. It is all for bragging rights and a way to have some fun while doing something worthwhile. So - a few years back (2012) I setup a BOINC Wide team named LibO Crunchers. I then did pretty much nothing to promote it, but kept at least one computer (a netbook running 24/7) hooked up and working on projects through about 2017, at which time I retired the machine and kind of forgot about it. Very recently, realizing the team was still registered with a couple of projects at BOINC setup on another machine and started it 'crunching numbers' on tasks again. I would like to do something I didn't do back in 2012 and try to actually generate some interest in getting other folks to join up. To that end; First, I would would like to use a page on the TDF wiki as a Team website, which is why this email - I won't do that if folks would rather I didn't. The BOINC team was registered with the following options; Name: LibO Cruncers for LibreOffice boosters. Type: Non Profit Organization Location: International Participation by individuals and teams can be reflected through badges issued by the BOINC network. There are multiple statistic systems which offer this service each supports only a subset of languages and subsets of academic instiutiions. The LibO team is registered with three stat systems: BOINCStats (UC Berkley) https://boincstats.com/en/stats/-1/team/detail/b95b8895d166ef3b5237b05396bad08d Free-DC (US) https://stats.free-dc.org/stats.php?page=teambycpid&team=LibO+Crunchers SETIBZH (Europe) https://statsbzh.boinc-af.org/ This team registration seems to have lapsed, will reconnect that. Anyway, that was way more text then I intended to write. The question is about using a wiki page to tie it all together.
