meet the BOINC admin from: Duchamp Sourcefinder
On Sunday, May 14, 08:00 AM UTC (verify with this link)
we're having a conference call with Sam Foster from BOINC project
- Duchamp Sourcefinder
- he is also the admin of: theSkyNet POGS (find his previous interview with us here)
"Sourcefinder is about testing the performance and quality of the Duchamp Sourcefinding application. We've built a simulated cube of the sky containing various radio sources, and it's the job of Duchamp to work out where the sources are. We plan on running Duchamp over the whole cube of simulated data to work how many of the radio sources in the cube it can find. Duchamp will need to be able to identify correct sources while keeping false positives to a minimum."

RE: Domain name:
"SSL (will be) set up in the near future"
Here's hoping their admin credentials haven't been intercepted in the mean time..
time change:
I have now torn out the rest of hair after sleeping through my alarm and missing this interview.
Really wanted to be there, hear it went well and I look forward to listening to it on SoundCloud when it's released.
