Please take a few minutes to evaluate the 2007 TechLaunch training sessions. This is a brief (eight questions), anonymous survey, using the online survey tool, Survey Monkey. If you have any additional comments or questions regarding TechLaunch or this survey, please contact Emily. Thank you!

Following our last TechLaunch meeting, Rachel asked me about the World Community Grid and if I "could send those directions to hide the program." I did send her an email with instructions, but it seemed the sort of thing that might be of benefit to others in this group.

So I've turned that email into a more generalized page with lots of screenshots. If you're interested in details on a hidden installation, please visit

Let me know if you have any feedback, questions, or need clarification. I hope this helps.

(By the way, thank you to those who have sent in your WCG Team/User names. I'm still missing a few, though . . . )

Upcoming TechLaunch Training Sessions

Please note that due to a scheduling change, the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) has been revised. (Please discard the MOU you were originally given.) All participating TechLaunch recipients need to review the MOU, replace *Your Organization* with your actual organization name, and bring a signed (by the Executive Director) hard copy to the September TechLaunch training session. Please contact Emily if you have any questions or concerns about the MOU. Thank you!

An important part of the TechLaunch process involves completing the Pre-TechLaunch Assessment form. Please download and complete the form and return it (e-mail, FAX, snail mail) to Emily by October 31^st, 2007. We'll talk about this during the September training session, but if you have any questions regarding this form please contact Emily or post a comment here.

Thank you!
