Comments on the following newsitem
Just got back from the beach. I met with Eric who is involved with several BOINC projects. We had some interesting conversations about BOINC and some of the physics research. My friend Andrew and I are considering a publication dealing with the conceptual framework of Hydrogen@Home. There is a compeling reason for publishing a paper on this topic. BOINC deserves more positive attention to help it gain social acceptance among scientists. Energy is a significant problem. Through writing this article, we hope to translate the purpose of this project to the average scientist who may be dismissive of BOINC. We hope this will also promote our meetings here in Washington, DC. Scientists from many disciplines will come to learn about this technology once they see the potential.

That does seem to be one of the biggest problems that BOINC faces. Those that decide to use BOINC to assist in their research are only concerned about their research. There is nothing wrong with that, BOINC is a tool, like a hammer or a scanning electron microscope. As a tool those using it are under no obligation to promote the tool, when their passion and focus is elsewhere.

As such, it is good seeing some project leaders taking this kind of interest in promoting BOINC, especially as a tool for scientists that might benefit from the super computer type performance of BOINC.
