#1 Universe@Home is ending... :(

Post by Dirk Broer »

From the Universe@Home forum:
For over 10 years, I have taken care of the Universe@Home project.

Unfortunately, since the passing of Prof. Krzysztof Belczynski, we have not been able to find a way to continue the project. Therefore, as funding ended at the end of August this year, I am no longer formally associated with the project. Still hoping that a scientific team will be found to carry it forward, I have continued to handle the ongoing maintenance of the server, and I intend to keep doing so in my free time until either a successor to Krzysztof is found or CAMK decides to shut down the servers.

I truly regret that such a long history of our shared work is coming to an end. Unfortunately, I lack the scientific expertise needed to continue the research myself.

I would like to thank all of you for years of support and express my hope that we may someday meet again on another project that I could manage from the BOINC side.

Well, it's a shame but the good news (to me anyway) is I thought it was Krzysztof 'krzyszp' Piszczek who had passed due to illness. I'm glad he's ok.

It's a shame.
BOINC is running out of projects.
