Idea for an "S Club" Crunch

Post by **UBT - Timbo** » Fri Aug 18, 2006 8:56 pm

Hi all,

We've not had a dedicated "Crunch" for a little while, and I'm keen to do something slightly different to try and generate some interest.

And it seems to me, that our current "need" is to climb at least one ranking position on a number of specific projects (namely: SAP, SIMAP, SETI).

This, hopefully, will then have a knock on effect on our other "target" (which is to overtake "Hungary" in the world rankings).

So my suggestion is that we do an "S" Project Crunch - which basically requests that you voluntarily crunch for any of the projects starting with an "S".....hence the S Club Crunch !

And the outcome of this should be that we achieve our target of moving up one place in each case.

So, if you are prepared for this, then the next step is to consider the timescale and the duration of such an idea. Darren has already suggested the forthcoming August Bank Holiday Weekend (i.e. 3 days) - which is fine for SETI & SIMAP - SAP will take at least 4 weeks to complete (and longer for the slower CPU's).

So I leave it to the forum members to consider this and to reply with any comments.

regards,

Tim

Not going to touch SAP, that one is already been done by a few members already

Edit: PS that means SZTAKI & SETI BETA too

I'll happily 'park' Rosetta and Einstein for the long weekend, as SETI and SIMAP are the other 2 I'm running currently. Count me in for the S Club seniors!!
