Get the word out..  (United States)

Let's take advantage of this feature.  We can add a link at the bottom of the outgoing email to join the new TSWB.  Any takers on a generic message that each member could use, and possibly invite 5 or 10 friends/family members?? 

I could come up with something but would like to run it by everyone here first for proper wording, etc.  Let me know what I can do to help.

Help us by telling your friends, family and coworkers about SETI@home.

Fill in this form with the names and email addresses of people you think might be interested in SETI@home. We'll send them an email in your name, and you can add your own message if you like.

Ok, here is a rought draft and idea.  I might need help with dates and timeline.  I took a shot at it the best that I could.

Dear Friend:

I am very pleased to announce that you were selected to take part in a journey that shall continue to reach new heights. You have received this open invitation to become part of 'Team Starfire World Boinc', also known as TSWB. Come, gaze onward to higher plateaus, discover medical breakthroughs, help the world find a cure, or even predict new weather patterns. Come along and explore the stars above at www.TSWB.org.

In 1999, the idea of Team Starfire was brought together by several successful founding members. Many of these same dedicated members and teammates continue to press onward and upward by contributing their spare CPU cycles toward various projects. Our teammates here at Team Starfire share news, project information, trends and ideas, or even just come by to chat in the forums catching up on local events. We have built this community and welcome you to join us creating the future.

What are Spare CPU Cycles?
Volunteer computing is an arrangement in which people (volunteers) provide computing resources to projects, which use the resources to do distributed computing and/or storage. Volunteers are typically members of the general public who own Internet-connected PCs. Organizations such as schools and businesses may also volunteer the use of their computers. Projects are typically academic (university-based) and do scientific research.

The first volunteer computing project was GIMPS (Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search), which started in 1995. Other early projects include distributed.net, SETI@home, and Folding@home. Today there are at least 50 active projects.

Given this opportunity, TSWB invites you to join our newly appointed and growing member base. Come along and explore the stars.

Come discover Team Starfire

www.TeamStarfire.net

 

Welcome aboard.

Sincerely,
broadbandit

Wow, looks pretty good. However, the last link isn't working, at least for me, and should probably be tswb.org anyway?

Re: Get the word out..  (United States)
They both should point to the same place.  Everyone, what is the proper URL to refer our team as?  TeamStarfire.net or TSWB.org.  I've provided both in the outgoing 'marketing mail piece' :)  Does anyone have anything to add to this letter?  I'd like to utilize Berkeley's offer to use their smtp services while it's still around.  I'm not sure how long that will last.  Please advise.

I would think TSWB.org.  For one, it's easier to type

I also think it should be tswb.org.

But I can't think of anything else to put in the letter.
