Hello everyone
I am working on a project to get WCG and Google to form a partnership . I have contacted and left voicemails with WCG and have not heard back.
Here is a video of what we are working on:

If anyone can put me in contact with someone at WCG/Boinc that can assist me that would be great. I have been in contact with Google already and will discuss more with anyone that can assist.

Thank you,
Moonshot

That would be a pretty big move, to get them to include BOINC or WCG as part of the initial device setup process. Samsung and HTC both have their own app that makes use of BOINC technology to provide computing resources to WCG, but that's totally voluntary and only covers a percentage of the market.

I wonder how receptive Google would be to that, as they might have customers who might not agree to such a campaign.
