In response to WCG. Why don't they share the project's source code to others be able to contribute, maybe further optimize or port to other platforms?

Will the event be recorded? Unfortunately I can't attend it, but I'd love to watch the presentations.

Is it possible to ask questions from the speakers via email or any other way? I didn't find any contacts unfortunately.

I'd like to ask the World Community Grid, is there any progress about GPU computing. I was amazed that according to boincstats.com the GPUGRID has made twice as many credit than WCG, even-tho the WCG has 15 times more users. This is brutal and I don't understand why they don't utilize they huge resource base some way. Eg. port existing project, start new project, team up with other projects etc. I know it's not an easy task, but still, GPUGRID, F@H is able to develop GPU base applications continuously.

I also want to ask David Anderson that, don't you think it'd be beneficial for BOINC and Folding@Home if the two projects were merge? Same goals, similar technology, but currently they compete with each other. The development cycle would be much faster if the two teams were working on a single project. Thoughts?

I'd contribute as a developer, but I can develop only in C#. Plus, there are a lot of directories and unused 10-12 year old check-in notes, and God knows what else, that makes the GitHub repo a mess. At least to me.

The decision making, development and release management very slow. E.g. brevilo tried to handle the Android release management, but nothing changed so far and months are passed. https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/issues/1846

The auto update feature why a security risk and how can FireFox and Chrome handle it? Isn't any best practice?

A guy developed a very cool new Boinc manager from scratch called the BoincTasks. I think it would be very helpful to merge the two projects and develop only one manager in the future. https://efmer.com/boinctasks/

The Folding@Home and the Boinc basically the same. Why the two projects don't merge? The two "team" basically develop the "same" app.

Registering and connecting to a project as a new user is cumbersome. The registration should be much more easily, like connect with Facebook.
