February Competitions

[Dirk Broer]

Thanks Vaughan, I'll keep an eye out for future challenges as well.

Hello everyone! Version 2.0 of the February competitions!
Here's what we got now for the month of February...

February 1 to February 8 - SIMAP February 2012 Scramble
Organised as usual by BOINCStats, this challenge will be the monthly Simap@Home challenge.
At the moment we're not participating yet, but we have at least 14 active members on this project, the team's #5, Björn Johansson, being the most active at the moment.

February 1 to February 8 - Winter Protein Race
Organised by Russia Team, this challenge will be for Rosetta@Home.
As the Ruskies are in a different time zone (Moskow is at GMT +3, afaik) the challenge will begin on 2012-02-01 at 04:00 GMT and end 2012-02-08 04:00 GMT, at least....that's what on the site for now. I personally would not be surprised when they actually begin 2012-01-31 20:00 GMT (4 hours time difference to the other way). At the moment we're not participating yet, but we have more than 20 active members on this project.

February 6 to February 13 - The newest grid chalenge in 2012
Organised by IBM Hungary, this challenge is for World Community Grid. And yes, they forgot a 'l' in challenge, I did not.
This is another chance for a good result after our 4th place at Australia Day end date. They might want to think about a new color for Jason's badges at the end if he keeps up his pace, but he is not the only one that's active at this project, I counted more than 35 active members.

February 10 to February 17 - On a way to a Latin square
Organised by Crystal Dream, this is a challenge for SAT@Home. We have only 7 members who were ever active, and 3 who were in the last 7 days. Perhaps your best chance ever to end up in the team top-10 for this project. Our most active member at the moment is sentient_life, but lazykiller has the most recent results. At the moment we do not yet participate.
