Title: Sensor giveaway - get yours free!
Post by: WikiWill on January 31, 2015, 01:54:24 PM
Hi team,

If you're interested in this project then I have a FREE sensor to give away - read on for details.

But first, please do me a little favour - give this some thought.  We're the biggest and most successful distributed computing team in Australia and every day we make valuable contributions to the world around us, in physical and biological sciences, astronomy, maths, medicine, open source data, and many more important areas.  You're contributing to the future world that we can only imagine.  Every day you run BOINC, you are making a positive difference.

Our team needs three little things and I hope you can help in one of these ways.  It's easy!
1) Send a message to Dingo (http://forum.boinc-australia.net/index.php?action=pm;sa=send;u=1) if you are a wannabe web developer and think you can improve our team web presence (great portfolio material!)
2) Send a message to your social network about the important work BOINC@Australia does, inviting them to join.
3) Keep on crunching!

Finally, if you want to contribute radiation levels to this project, please reply with a couple of sentences on how you would use a Radiation@Home probe.  I'll pick a winner semi-randomly based on value to the team and the project, and just like d_worms did for me, I'll post the probe free to the winner anywhere in the world.

Check out http://radioactiveathome.org/boinc/ (http://radioactiveathome.org/boinc/) to read more about the aims of this project.

Crunch on, everyone!!

As I said in o9ut PM's if no one answers I will take it off your hands.  Mine is in storage in Canberra somewhere in a box.  Hopefully someone in Aust will be interested.

I'll give everyone Saturday to jump in to the mix and then pick one!

Edit:

Time to close this off.  I will send it your way Dingo, if you can PM me a postal address?

Keep on rocking, crunchers  :rocks

Wonder what's happening around Dyemans place. His radiation levels are almost 10 times higher than yours!  :shock :panic:
