The World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) is a United Nations-sponsored initiative aimed at harnessing the potential of information and communication technologies to build inclusive and equitable information societies worldwide. BOINC has been nominated for a prize at the 2024 forum, and has passed initial hurdles; the next and last step ("Phase 3") requires public votes. The award would be a very nice boost and validation for BOINC and all our projects; if we can get our communities to vote, we should have a decent shot at this point...
Voting is pretty simple, takes just a few minutes; instructions are here.
(*The deadline for votes is Sunday: 31 March 2024, 23:00 UTC+02:00)

Anybody know why GoofyX Monkeys v1 is showing as active? I don't see anything in the auto news about it being active.
The website (but not the old database) was live for several days a few months ago.

Ouch. I felt that, even from way over here. Some RNA tasks are incompatible with newer VirtualBox versions and maybe that's the snag?

Well thanks for that because it reminded me of the ancient NanoHive@Home BOINC project and this published paper:

The simulator that was used is open source and available here:

BOINC (Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing) is an open-source software — and community — that enables volunteers to donate spare processing power from their PCs, laptops, and phones, to power vital scientific and medical research.
Aggregated, these resources enable cutting edge research across mathematics, biology, physics, quantum chemistry, climate prediction and more.
The BOINC Workshop is comprised of three sessions. The first will showcase projects that using BOINC, highlighting the role of citizen participation in advancing scientific research. The second is a forum for BOINC projects to discuss the technology, their accomplishments in the past year, and technical needs moving forward. The third is an open-ended community discussion.
Who should attend?
The BOINC Workshop is for anyone interested in harnessing science, technology, and online community to advance knowledge and effect change.
(*Part of the workshop, “Tech Talks†and “Tutorials†will be focused on people running, or interested in running, BOINC projects.)
Where is the Event? How do I participate? Where do I sign up?
This year’s workshop will be online, via Zoom. Please register to get the event URL.
I’d like to present, who do I contact?
If you’d like to speak on any BOINC-related topic (science, technology, community), please register or contact us.
Can I watch a recording later?
We’ll be posting highlights to YouTube - but to participate in Q&A, and other interactive elements of the workshop, it’s best to join us live :)

The agenda for Community Discussion + Tutorials on April 28 has not been posted yet but World Community Grid Tech Keith Uplinger has an exciting announcement for that day:
"I am planning on doing a tutorial similar to what I did in Chicago about setting up a BOINC server and running from scratch. My plan is to have it run on ubuntu 20.04 for ease of use for those to set it up."
I received my login details to Day 1, "The World of BOINC", on Wednesday, April 14 several hours ago, so they are being sent out now. There's still time to Register for this free event.

And who found such a wonderful project? Would you share the link? :o)
Do you mean this one:

This one. I'm thinking the admin for that project is testing solo while also running wuprop.

I need an invitation code to sign up for lhc-dev, right?I don't think that was the case at the very start of the project, but it seems so now. I've PM'd an admin there for an invite code for you.

One of the most interesting cards in the link above
Creating a new BOINC project and placing our updated code inside. Reusing the old one may lead to issues down the road.

I've sent a PM to the admin
I just received this reply

Thanks for relaying this message to us! Unfortunately, the project is still not working, and we've been having issues with the server upgrade that are messing with the user data (everything is backed up, of course). It looks like we were not clear enough that things are under reconstruction, and we apologize for any frustration this might have caused. We're working around the clock to get everything running again, but for now it looks like we might temporarily shut down the site in order not to create any more confusion.
Best wishes,
Daniel
There was an upgrade a few hours ago that caused several database errors to show on the site, broken or deprecated links, no teams, etc. We've seen this before on other projects attempting that upgrade so I'm sure it will be eventually sorted out.

Are the v360 and v400 apps validating against each other correctly for anyone else?
I can't find any. All my recent invalid wu's seem to be v360 against v400 apps.
