Thank you both for joining us.


Droopy drawers, all the fours, calling team member #44

From the World Community Grid Website:
Our Mission, Our Work and You
World Community Grid's mission is to create the world's largest public computing grid to tackle projects that benefit humanity.

Our work has developed the technical infrastructure that serves as the grid's foundation for scientific research. Our success depends upon individuals collectively contributing their unused computer time to change the world for the better.


World Community Grid is making technology available only to public and not-for-profit organizations to use in humanitarian research that might otherwise not be completed due to the high cost of the computer infrastructure required in the absence of a public grid. As part of our commitment to advancing human welfare, all results will be in the public domain and made public to the global research community.


Our Sponsor

IBM Corporation, a leader in the creation, development and manufacture of the industry's most advanced information technologies, has donated the hardware, software, technical services and expertise to build the infrastructure for World Community Grid and provides free hosting, maintenance and support.


How Grid Technology Works

Making a difference has never been easier! Grid technology is simple and safe to use. To start, you register, then download and install a small program or "agent" onto your computer.


When idle, your computer will request data on a specific project from World Community Grid's server. It will then perform computations on this data, send the results back to the server, and ask the server for a new piece of work. Each computation that your computer performs provides scientists with critical information that accelerates the pace of research!

To register, download and install takes just 5 minutes.
5 minutes of your time is all that is being asked for.
Make the choice and make a difference.
The projects that the World Community Grid is currently working on are HelpConquerCancer, AfricanClimate@home, DiscoveringDengueDrugs - Together, Help cure Muscular Dystrophy, Human Proteome Folding and FightAids@Home. Pick one as a reason, pick them all and join us today!

After completing the 5 minute registration, downloading and installation process, please join us at Team Bravo with just a click of your mouse.

Since Christmas Day 4 new members have joined Team Bravo boding very well for 2008!
CJG from the US is just 13 years old. Thirteen, and he decided to spend 5 minutes of his day doing something to help others. Please follow his example.


Go here to join our fabulous international team.

Flashing neon? I feel like I should be on a stripper pole!! (just kidding - but I'll stay on the pole anyway...)
