Well, it's time for a BOINC@Australia update.

We're crunching so much science, it's quicker to say, have a quick look at our team BOINC Stats banner below. :-) You'll see we're placed tenth or better in ten projects and twentieth or better in twenty projects. Are they magic numbers or what?!

We are still the number one Australian team and we're placed twenty ninth in the world stats.

Click on our graphic if you would like to visit our teams web site. There's a link at the top that connects to the team fora. You can look at most of the fora, you can post in the guest forum if you log-in with your e-mail address and you can join if you crunch one or more projects for BOINC@Australia. More would be better. ;-)






BOINC@Australia also has a special event coming up on 1 December 2006. Every two months we commit to a team building exercise we call an "Aussie Assault" (AA). The next one is AA4 and after much deliberation SETI at home was selected as the target project. It's such a large and well contested project, we're not too sure we'll have much of an impact but we're thinking big after the success of the first three AA's. Who knows, maybe we can pick up a couple of spots in the team rankings. 8-D

*** UPDATE TIME ! ***

Almost two weeks have passed since AA5 on ABC@Home drew to a nail-biting close.
Both teams - BOINC@AUSTRALIA and l'Alliance Francophone gained a lot from the two weeks.

We have also gained ground in combined ranking - now placed 25th overall in team ranking.



Some of the guys are having a 'mini-assault' on one of the 'medical' projects - why not visit our forums and see if you can find out which project?
All of the individual project sub-fora are open to public view.

Discussions will be opening shortly to decide the target for AA6!

G'day crunchers everywhere!

We are now starting Aussie Assault 6 (AA6). After being runner up in the last few polls for the AA, Einstein has been chosen to be the project which will receive our concentrated attention for the next few weeks.

Bruce Allen who is the Forum moderator, Project administrator, Project developer and Project scientist for Einstein has agreed, after much persuasion from members of the Team, and instigated by Mike Mitchell, to crunch Einstein for our Team. He has started this already and his numbers are very impressive.

The Aussie Assaults are a regular team-building exercise we run here at BOINC@AUSTRALIA - the results are always impressive and we have great fun at the same time. In the last Assault (on ABC@Home) another team - l'Alliance Francophone - learnt how much fun these assaults can be and helped both BOINC@AUSTRALIA and the project itself achieve spectacular results.
(overview of that assault here.)

So - Gentlemen - START YOUR ENGINES !!!

What a great ride that last AA was!!! Many of us are still crunching away at Einstein, producing around 200,000 credits of science for the project.

Einstein is now our number one project, I didn't think anything could overtake SETI but AA6 had an amazing effect on Einstein.

Can't wait until the the 1st of June when AA7 starts.

Don't forget, you can join before than too. ;)

Calling all members of BOINC@AUSTRALIA!

You may be aware that Aussie Assault 7 is due to begin (on 01 June) and will run until 14 June.
The target is WCG - World Community Grid. This project actually crunches four separate causes:-
1) Fight Aids at home
2) Genome comparison
3) Human Proteome folding
4) Help cure Muscular Dystrophy

WCG is slightly different to the other BOINC projects. If you have any difficulty attaching, check the team forum.
Help is available!

Any other 'homeless' crunchers out there who would like to join in the fun, feel free - we are the No.1 Australian team,
currently in 18th position Combined Boinc World ranking.
Visit the team forum here for more details about the team.
