Hy, actually I'm preparing a tutorial about a BOINC server set up during the linuxdays conference in Luxembourg (www.linuxdays.lu). As I want to introduce BOINC with a brief development history I would like to collect some time line milestones. Could someone point me to some of the dates like initial project start and the first release? Best regards |

You could also try this as a source of information: http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://boinc.berkeley.edu BOINC went live with the release of the SETI@home application, so if you delve back to the first posts in the SETI@home message boards, you'll find the beginning. Up until then, BOINC was in Beta. Unfortunately the first Beta site (http://setiboinc.ssl.berkeley.edu/ap/) was scrapped, so it's not so easy to get anything definitive further back, unless the project admins can release backup data to you. As a guideline, I joined the BOINC Beta on 24th November 2003, but was not among the first, as others had already been Beta'ing quite some time before me. You can still view project notes on the original Beta site http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://setiboinc.ssl.berkeley.edu/ap/ to help with dates and things as well. You can also trawl through the old SETI@home news for dates and events. |

I was one of the first involved in BOINC outside of the on-campus Berkeley staff. I did manage to preserve a reasonably accurate start date (+- 2 days) for my participation in my sig. BOINC WIKI BOINCing since 2002/12/8 |

- First BOINC based project was Predictor@home launched on 9th June 2004 Nope predictor was first. SETI was still in beta for a few more weeks after that. June 22, 2004 BOINC WIKI BOINCing since 2002/12/8 |

So although Predictor was first, it's really lagging behind SETI :) |
