This section is where you can post topics related to Challenges from other websites, such as Formula-BOINC, SETI-Germany and BOINCstats, as well as project challenges such as from WCG, PrimeGrid et al.
As a Team, we really want to engage as many team members with these challenges, as this gives us a great way of attracting more members to our Team...plus we get to show our strengths as a Team by (hopefully) doing well in each one.
SETI.Germany invites all BOINC teams to the SETI@Home Wow!-Event 2012. It takes place from 15.08.2012 up to 29.08.2012.
We cordially ask all team leaders to forward the invitation to their team. Information about the Wow! Race 2012, an exciting race concept and a registration form can be found here:
I followed your link but I'm a little unclear about the sign up process, is this a challenge that we participate in as a Boinc team, or do we divide into Zodiac teams (which sounds like it might be quite an interesting idea) for the duration of the Event?
This WOW Event Josh, is very Special my Friend, so everybody participate in his Individuell Zodiac Sign. So you can see Team SETI.Germany stay not in 1 Team, Seti Germany stay in 12 Teams. By TeAm AnandTech or Team SETI.USA same.
Your SETI @Home User ID (the numerical ID, NOT the cross-project identifier string)
The Zodiac group you want to join.
The event starts on 15th August 2012 for 2 weeks. If you have any spare capacity then please switch over one (or more) of your BOINC clients to crunch some SETI WU's.
I have a Question to you Timbo, in what Team you want start now ? By Zodiac Team Aries or Zodiac Team Cancer, why I see now your Name in this two Teams.
Please Timbo give me soon an Answer, that we can make the User List correct. Thank you very much.

Many Greatings SEARCHER
Hi Searcher.
I added my name to "Cancer" Team - maybe your website didn't like the fact that I entered the wrong ID the first time, so it gave an error (to me) and I re-tried a second time.

Still waiting to send those results :?
EDIT: It would appear that SETI have a 'power outage' at their buildings in Berkley.
Hi,
It does put a bit of a damper on the start of the WOW event, though the outage is only for 2 days and the event is for 14 days.....so, plenty of time to catch up - as it'll be affecting everybody
But once they power up, any completed WU's you have in your cache will be uploaded soon enough...
(I've moved Glenn's msg to this forum as it's better here, than in it's original place.)
