Constellation beta one year ago, donations and new hardware application
One year ago, we opened Constellation for the first wave of users for the beta test (http://aerospaceresearch.net/constellation/forum_thread.php?id=4). Until then, we really improved Constellation a lot because of your sugestions and remarks. In behalf of the Constellation Team, I want to thank you all. We think that you users are an essential part of our project and we have a place on our team-page (http://aerospaceresearch.net/constellation/contactimpressum.php). Without you, Constellation wouldn't be possible. I also want to take this opportunity to give special thanks to our donators (http://aerospaceresearch.net/constellation/donations.php), who believe in our platform and made donations. That's propelling our endeavor. Some of you used PayPal and our website system recognizes this and donates "Crowns" on their detail pages. Some of you used Flattr (http://flattr.com/thing/278010/AerospaceResearch-netconstellation), but this is unfortunately not supported yet. So I would like to offer you Flattr users to send me an email stating their donation (with a proof, like Screenshot) and I will set this "Crown" by hand. As you helped us to improve our system, we should make Flattr (http://blog.flattr.net/2011/09/forum-moving-over-to-stack-overflow/) and other services create a fitting API, so that BOINC can directly recognize this donation. This news started with a description of our beta test and it will end with beta tests. Our latest supporter shack e.V. (http://aerospaceresearch.net/constellation/forum_thread.php?id=134) and we are working on a new application for Constellation. This will be a hardware application and serving as a distributed groundstation network. It's currently under development and we can't go into specific details currently. But you can also be part in this and bringing in even the tiniest skill you think can be usefull. We don't promise you when it will be finished or if it will be ever finished, BUT we promise you that we will try our very best to create new and interesting applications to you. -- Andreas Hornig
