Dear SETI@home volunteer, I'm Dan Werthimer, the Chief Scientist of the SETI@home project.
You've been identified as one of our most active volunteers, and I'd like totake this opportunity to thank you for your efforts this past year. I also wantto preview our plans for 2010, and ask for your financialsupport.
SETI@home is a unique global collaborative project that uses spare cycles onpersonal computers to help search for signals of extraterrestrial origin. Ourvision to embark on this grand search is over ten years old, and continues toengage volunteers such as you from all over the world.
In order to improve SETI@home in 2010 and accomplish our scientific goals, weare reaching out to our loyal volunteers for financial support, as thisventure is largely funded by individual donations.
Our goals for 2010 include:
- Deploy and refine the Near-Time Persistency Checker (NTPCkr) which makesSETI@home more efficient in identifying candidate signals.
- Develop a web based system that will allow volunteers to view, as well ashelp in the ranking of, candidate signals.
- Expand the frequency coverage of our search beyond the current 2.5MHzband.
- Improve how we identify and reject Earth-generated radio frequencyinterference (RFI).
With your financial support we can accomplish all these goals in 2010. Wewould greatly appreciate any donation amount you can afford, and your gift istax-deductible. Thanks again for your time and dedication to SETI@home. Your effort anddonations are what make this venture possible.
Sincerely,
Dan Werthimer
SETI@home Chief Scientist
