Milkyway: MilkyWay@home Fundraiser

[RSS]

Hey All, At the end of this summer the National Science Foundation will cease the funding of MilkyWay@home. We will be holding a fundraiser this summer to raise funds to maintain operations. Check out our fundraising page for more information. It includes information on how to donate, our budget information and more. A gift of any amount will earn you (if you so wish) a donor badge on your MilkyWay@home profile. Your gift can also earn you a free MilkyWay@home T-shirt! Here is the link: http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/fundraiser.php Thank you all for your continuing support! Siddhartha Shelton

I like MilkyWay@Home and I hope they raise the funds needed to keep going. It's a good stable project that has led to many publications, with a variety of apps that generally have steady work. Seems like a lot of overhead $$ to keep it running; they give a pretty good breakdown of the budget on the fundraiser page.

You also get a badge when you donate, though it doesn't export like other badges...
