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.

the first group e-mail sent: Jan 21, 2006, again for those whom did not receive it

Hello Team - FreeBSD!

I just want to say hi and welcome the new members to this team, and
congratulate the current members on their incredible effort.

The URL einstein.extracted.org now has team statistics such as: total credits
in the last 60 days, total credits in the last month, credits per day (last 60
days), and world position history (remember, lower is better) for the last 60
days and the last month.

We have some incredible people on this team, both users and developers of the
FreeBSD community.  I encourage all of you to give a short introduction and
earn some credits!

Thank you, to all of you!  Lots of fun!

Andy Wright

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 uses your computer's idle time to search for weak astrophysical signals from spinning neutron stars (also called pulsars) using data from the LIGO gravitational-wave detectors, the Arecibo radio telescope, and the Fermi gamma-ray satellite. Einstein@Home volunteers have already discovered more than a dozen new neutron stars, and we hope to find many more in the future. Our long-term goal is to make the first direct detections of gravitational-wave emission from spinning neutron stars. Gravitational waves were predicted by Albert Einstein almost a century ago, but have never been directly detected. Such observations would open up a new window on the universe, and usher in a new era in astronomy.

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

''It would be possible to describe everything scientifically, but it would make no sense; it would be without meaning, as if you described a Beethoven symphony as a variation of wave pressure'' -- Albert Einstein
