Well placed - I'm about a block from the boardwalk. Thanks, Raven!

Actually, I'm a little east of the boondocks, right next to the mad cow, and where the old red barn used to be. ;) haha.. THANKS!

The new Google Earth BOINC

The new Google Earth BOINC User file is ready, and has been posted to the Google Earth Community Forum. It can be found here.

There are a few changes from bjango's original file. First, users are listed in the file alphabetically, rather than by country. Google Earth has graphical search features that are more than adequate to show you who is situated in a particular city, state, province or country. Listing them alphabetically made it easier to search for a particular user by name. Second, there are the nifty new icons, in BOINC's unique font, which indicate special things about users listed. A blue "B" indicates a regular user. A gold "B" indicates someone involved with the operation of a project (i.e. an administrator, developer, or scientist, but not a tester or forum moderator). A red "B" indicates the founder of an established team of five or more members. This replaces bjango's original set of team "locations", which I felt were superfluous as even a geographically-based team can have members spread all over the map.

The BOINC project locations file included with bjango's original is not updated or present in this file. It is being maintained by another user and can be found at http://www.pcschmiede.de.tf/boinc/

Additions and corrections are sought and encouraged. I am especially interested to know of any user who may warrant a different colour icon (I have only two team founders, myself included, and only one project staffer) or users who have either moved or have stopped crunching BOINC, and can thus reasonably be taken out of the file. Comments and suggestions are also welcome. Enjoy!

The Google Earth view looks good, Raven.

Although I'm registered as "International," you can mark me in the middle of the duck pond at 39-59-40 N; 105-06-40 W. (Lafayette, Colorado, USA) Thanks!

You're there (blue marker, but didn't check to see if it was actually in Ohio); was taking a quick look this morning on an older machine (had to use Open GL, worked s...l...o...w). Saw lots of familiar names while looking at North
America from about 30 miles up :)

Kath, did you try clicking Raven's link, and then on the 'Google Earth' button from there? I think that's how the BOINC Users data in a 'My Places' file gets loaded, which has the names (alphabetically) and locations...

zc_science: Took me a while,

zc_science: Took me a while, but I found it. Your marker is in the river.

Laurel: Found it. Added.

Next update should hopefully be within a week, so you both will be there.

KSMarksPsych: With all due respect, I believe the red "B" for TFFE would likely belong to Keith Stanley, correct?
