And so we are done with the active part of the BOINC Pentathlon 2020. Two intense weeks for the hardware and its operators are over. Much remains to be written, but at this late hour I stick to thanking those without whom the Pentathlon could not have taken place, or at least not in this form:
- Jeeper74, modesti, pons66 and unterstudienrat for their active participation in preparatory discussions, this year for the first time including selection of all projects
- shka for the main work in the machine room behind the web site, and aendgraend, HeNiNnG and XSmeagolX, who too contributed to the smooth operation of the SETI.Germany server
- Jeeper74 also for the daily reports from the arena
- Dennis-TW for the translation of the reports into English
- modesti also for the french translation, and Cocagne for proofreading and for translation of the upcoming final report
- No_Name for his input into the compilation of candidate projects
- David, Eric, Krzysztof, Sergei and Fran for the not always easy life support to the servers of this year's projects
- the 30 Pentathon teams for their participation this year
- everybody who provided criticism, asked for clarifications, or made suggestions for future improvements through our contact channels (feedback form, e-mail, forum), enabling a meaningful discussion and future consultation
If I forgot somebody, then not intentionally. I am also omitting a list of various little things which I did myself; otherwise I had to ask myself how I could have achieved anything else during this time at all.
