It has been a very busy week learning BOINC and Volunteer Computing. Yet, we really enjoyed it! Today's program was especially exciting from a science perspective. We received a faculty member from SACEMA as a guest speaker. He made a presentation on researches being done there on epidemiological modelling. What made the program even more exciting was probably the participants presentations on how they planned to use the skills gained at the workshop in their country. There were prizes for the 10 best project/activity proposals. And guess what? Well , we had a live discussion with David Anderson right from Berkeley , California, with participants asking questions and guetting answers directly from he that created BOINC! And of course, we reeally loved the Africa@home T-Shirts handed to every participants.
Tomorrow we're taking a tour in downtown Cape Town and to the table mountain. Some say Cape town is the most beautiful African city, so let's see tomorrow.
