What DC project will you participate in once Seti ends in about a year?

I am undecided. Once it ends, I will take a look at the projects going on at that time, and decide upon the one I like the most. I have already decided that I'm going to do one of the medical research-related projects, which one remains to be seen. :)

I'm sort of hoping we can get all of TeAm AnandTech together and crunch using the new client. Read this snippet from the S@H Future Directions web page:

To support future projects we are developing the Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC). Like the original SETI@home, BOINC consists of a client program and a data-distribution server backed by a database. BOINC, however, is not a specific application program - it's a framework that can support many different applications. This will make it easy for us to run multiple computations simultaneously - like AstroPulse and our southern hemisphere search - and to release new versions of these applications without requiring you to manually download and install software.

Even more significantly, BOINC is an open system. Other science projects can create their own distributed computations using BOINC. You choose the projects in which to participate, and you decide how much of your computing resources should go to each project. Your PC might search for ET, study global climate change, and do biological research, all at the same time.

There are many advantages to sharing resources in this way. For example, suppose SETI@home's radio telescope is shut down for repairs and we temporarily run out of data to analyze. With BOINC, your CPU power would be diverted to other projects, under your selection and control.

This could be the future for the entire TeAm AnandTech. A better way to be One for All! And All for One! :D

That's easy! Seti at home 2 :)

Though i may dabble with other projects, SETI or something Space Science related will always be my main one. :D

S@H2 for me too :)

Btw S@H1 doesn't end in a years time but in about 3 months time

I like this idea. I'm sure I'll be doing S@H2 with the BOINC client but I'll also be sticking with the Distributed Folding project. :)
