    May 2013 Competitions

    It is May again, we've had our last Queen's day in the Netherlands, but before I go to the yearly freedom market on the 5th of May in nearby Oegstgeest
    -try to say that like a Dutchman or -Woman and you get a free beer from me- and score some 2nd hand computer junk, I'd like to bring you this:


    May 1 to May 4 - Crunch with the best, or lunch with the rest ! [Season 1 - Episode 5-12 : The Historical Crunch !]
    Brigade du Cosmos let you decide what you can celebrate, as long as you crunch Seti@Home. 3748 participants from 22 teams are busy with it, cov_route -as usual these last months- being our best scoring member.

    May 6 to May 13 - Day of Voctory(?)
    Boinc Russia takes over from Brigade du Cosmos with yet another Seti challenge. I leave it to your own imagination what a voctory is.

    May 5 to May 18 - 4th BOINC Pentathlon
    Seti.Germany has the yearly Pentathlon, the only challenge with the name of an AMD CPU hidden in it.
    We start with Simap -and it being the 'marathon' component we run it during the whole of the challenge, so from from May 5 to May 19, so start bunkering!

    Dirk. Can you add the note that the International Towel Day Crunch is SETI@Home?
    I couldn't open the challenge page for a few days via the link.
    It's nice for folks to know where to crunch. Thanks.

    Consider it done!
    Opened the page (with nice -but unclickable- links to the work of Douglas Adams provided by yours truly) without problems from our frontpage.
