EINSTEIN@HOME - Team FreeBSD

A team dedicated to the users of FreeBSD running BOINC under linux compatibility mode, or a native FreeBSD BOINC build. Team FreeBSD is dedicated to users of FreeBSD, but not limited to JUST the users. Anyone with the interest in developing a community of people interested in technology, open standards, NIX or BSD based operating systems are welcome and encouraged to earn credits and share ideas and conversation.

an e-mail was sent out to team members, here is the contents if you did not receive it for whatever reason

Hi Everyone, I thought it was about time to send a message to the team contributors.  I want to congratulate you all for your credit milestones.  I posted the latest member milestones on http://einstein.extracted.org  I should mention also that the team's homepage has been cleaned up, and as I stated in a news post on that site, I had to bow my head in shame when I took a look at the HTML, CSS, and templates.  Along with the cleanup, I added a couple external links for team statistics, and the RSS feed for http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/ is available at the bottom of the page.  As alway, the team statistics graphs are located at the right side of the page.  Can you see the trend?

If anyone would like to contribute and post news about the project, FreeBSD, or anything related, send me an e-mail and we can work on getting more resources available, and drive some additional interest for the site and the team.

The new S5R3 run science application has not been ported over to FreeBSD.  If you need help installing and configuring BOINC and the Linux application binary, step over too http://people.freebsd.org/~pav/boinc.html for step by step instructions.  The SIMAP project, and Leiden Classical project are two other community projects described in these instructions.  The boinc-client FreeBSD Ports page is located at http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=boinc-client&stype=all

As for the progress of any native port for EINSTEIN@HOME, keep an eye on the message boards, and http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=einsteinathome&stype=all&sektion=all

This e-mail, directed to the team contributors, is actually the second group message I have sent.  However, many of you were not members months ago, and did not receive it.  If you would like to be excluded from any further messages directed to the group, send an e-mail to einstein@extracted.org  It may be several more months before a new message is sent; or in a special case, a couple of weeks.  In any which case, it will be infrequent.

Keep the number crunching blazed, and stick an extra fan in your box how about you..  give it the love that it needs to make our team even more successful...

For those of you wondering what the EINSTEIN@HOME Project is:

Einstein@Home is a program that uses your computer's idle time to search for spinning neutron stars (also called pulsars) using data from the LIGO gravitational wave detector. It also searches for radio pulsars in binary systems, using data from the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico. Einstein@Home is a World Year of Physics 2005 and an International Year of Astronomy 2009 project supported by the American Physical Society (APS) and by a number of international organizations.

My name is Andy Wright - the founder, but really the creator of Team FreeBSD. If you want me to add any links, or have any questions or inclinations for such things related to our group (or to just say hi) - send me an e-mail: einstein@extracted.org or Skype name: extracted
