Does anyone out there have a good Powerpoint show or other form of "sales pitch" to give to the decision makers behind a computing center/network in order to convince them to run BOINC during off-hours? I think that some of the distributed computing projects out there would really appeal to a science lab I work with, but the administrative types in charge could use a little convincing. Nothing gets a bureaucrat wet like a sexy Powerpoint show!

If someone has had success pitching to a business or university department, please share your tips with me.

There is a current thread at Rosetta where the person is looking to write a proposal to run BOINC at their school.

It might be of some help to you.
