I must be blind

Your screenshot is from "Computing preferences".
You need to go to "Rosetta@home preferences" instead.
(If I use Ken g6's link, I get there directly.)

I found it ! My problem is that I need a beer, but its too early here.

Ummm, it's ALWAYS noon somewhere....................no such thing as too early!

Who on Earth waits until noon? When I was heavy into Counter-Strike, one of our clan's name was BeerForBreakfast....but to be fair, we all worked nights.

You missed the noon somewhere.......

 

[TennesseeTony]

You missed the 7.30 in the morning and just got home somewhere...



The contest is over.....but the final score is late, as predicted by Stefan. I hope there is no "hanging chad" on the ballots.

 

[StefanR5R]

There was a stats update after 21:45 UTC / before 21:55 UTC.
Hopefully the last one.

 

[Orange Kid]

Rosetta@home final finally.

Waited till all stats updated. (OK, I was out.)
Second place. A great finish to the sprint season!!!! Nice sprint all.
We done good this year as it is a tough league.
Are we done with the sprints? After this years drama we will just have to wait and see.

Congratz TAAT on finishing second place! Quite a race between TAAT and XS on the third and final day of the sprint.

Yep, that's the last of the FB sprint for this year.

 

[Ken g6]

Any word on whether there will be FB sprints next year?

 

[StefanR5R]

@Orange Kid, thanks for all the stats throughout the racing season!

 

[crashtech]

Any word on whether there will be FB sprints next year?

Well, that's the 64 million point question!

Any word on whether there will be FB sprints next year?

A quote from a post by Sebastien is in this thread at the FB Forum:

"For the moment, there is only a poll on selected projects for 2020.
Next year, there will be a poll for each sprint."

It looks like a TAC member has the opportunity to vote in a poll for marathon projects and also for future sprints.

 

[Ken g6]

OK, there's now a registered TAC user, using the "Boinc-wide" password. @petrusbroder and @Rudy Toody will know what I mean.

I guess I need to set up a poll. For...37 projects. This could take awhile!

Edit: Hey, @Skillz, can you enable 40 or 50-option polls on teamanandtech.org?

 

[biodoc]

I guess I need to set up a poll. For...37 projects.

Aren't a lot of the projects obvious "keepers" to most of us? WCG, PG, Rosetta, Einstein, Seti, etc would be on that list I think.

Perhaps you could post a list of the projects that you think are "keepers" and then set up a poll for the controversial ones using your judgement.

 

[crashtech]

@biodoc has a good idea, list the "obvious keepers" at the top of the post, if anyone challenges one of them, it could be added to the poll later.

 

[Ken g6]

Aren't a lot of the projects obvious "keepers" to most of us? WCG, PG, Rosetta, Einstein, Seti, etc would be on that list I think.

That's a good idea. I put together a short list of keepers:

Asteroids@home
Einstein@home
Milkyway@home
PrimeGrid
Rosetta@home
Seti@home
World Community Grid

There are also several projects that have no work:

BURP
CAS@home
Citizen Science Grid
DENIS@Home
Enigma@home
VGTU@home

And several that seem to be offline or dead:

Acoustics@home
DHEP
Gerasim@home
XANSONS for COD

Should we vote "no" or "abstain" on those? Or do you want a third thread for those?

 

[StefanR5R]

The projects which don't have work currently may return eventually.
DHEP may return if they can secure funds.
Acoustics and Gerasim may return if the hosting issues get sorted out.
Xansons retired for good.

 

[Rudy Toody]

I've been doing NFS@Home for several months and am adding another cpu this week. (Reviving a 1700X.)

 

[Orange Kid]

For posterity

 

[Ken g6]

I just remembered I forgot to vote in the poll. Oh, well, it got confusing when they started adding projects after the poll was already started.

 

[biodoc]

Wanless Mersenne +2 made the cut.

The quantum chemistry project is in so I'm pleased about that.

Time to do some post-race season cleaning.
