This is a public announcement of the 1st Annual BOINC Decathlon, hosted by SETI.USA.

Following the highly successful and intense 1st Annual BOINC Pentathlon, hosted by SETI.Germany, our team extends its thanks to all participants and greetings from the United States of America.

SETI.USA would like to take this opportunity to announce The 1st Annual BOINC Decathlon as a Winter Games event, opposite in the calender year to the S.G. BOINC Pentathlon. We are currently in the process of working out the details and possible projects to be included. The scoring will be much like a traditional Decathlon event. There will be many opportunities for winners, and all teams, large and small, will be competitive in this exciting event.

The Decathlon will be held in the fall of 2010, and will be timed to not interfere with PG and other challenges slated for that time.
Please stay tuned as we will be providing more information as the event draws near toward the end of summer.

Sincerely,
Dr. Jedidiah T. Smith,
On behalf of Team SETI.USA

Fall is rapidly approaching. Any updates as to start date and which projects will be involved?
