Just wanted to bring the below to everyone's attention --

BOINC is a finalist for a notable award; please do take a moment to cast a vote if you're inclined --

Context: The World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) is a United Nations-sponsored initiative aimed at harnessing the potential of information and communication technologies to build inclusive and equitable information societies worldwide. BOINC has been nominated for a prize at the 2024 forum, and has passed initial hurdles; the next and last step ("Phase 3") requires public votes.

Voting is pretty simple, takes just a few minutes; instructions are here.

(*The deadline for votes is Sunday: 31 March 2024, 23:00 UTC+02:00)

(Also, the voting instructions at the URL below have been improved)

Please do consider voting; and please share this message far and wide :)
