Dear MilkyWay@home Volunteers
Dear Milkyway@home volunteer, During the past year we have made great strides in scientific research using MilkyWay@home and we have great plans for the future. Thank you for your help in making this happen! As a token of our appreciation we have introduced the volunteer badge system; our cyber-gift that tracks your years of service to the project and your contributed computer power. I encourage you to read our Newsletter (http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/newsletter_sidd.pdf) to find out more. You can also track us on the Web (http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/). Check out our YouTube Channel (https://www.youtube.com/MilkywayAtHomeRPI), where we post our simulation videos, and like us on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/Milkywayathome) to get the latest updates. Unfortunately, we now need your help more than ever. Last month I was informed that the U.S. National Science Foundation was not renewing our grant that operates MilkyWay@home. I would have been incensed, but unfortunately, due to the tight federal budgets, this is happening to strong and hard-working researchers all over the country. To maintain operations for the next year, we need to raise $40K (for budget details (http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/fundraiser.php#budget)), and we need your help. Your contribution, of any amount, will be recognized with a badge on your MilkyWay@home profile. In addition, for every $100 donated before August 15, 2014, we will send a free T-shirt, designed by our team members, that says “I support MilkyWay@home” to any address in the United States (additional donation required for international addresses or special shirt sizes, see here (http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/fundraiser.php#how_to_donate)). You can even link a cool picture of you in your shirt to our Facebook page! We really appreciate the use of your computer, which contributes to our 0.5 PetaFLOPS MilkyWay@home supercomputer. If you are also able and willing to help us financially you can make a donation by credit card here (https://securelb.imodules.com/s/1225/index.aspx?sid=1225&gid=1&pgid=3676). For other donation options and to track our campaign see our Fundraising page (http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/fundraiser.php).I and the MilkyWay@home team thank you so much for your assistance!In appreciation,Prof. Heidi Jo Newberg and the MilkyWay@home team
