I believe I had signed up for one, but can't remember which one. Had expected a call back or even just a heads up.

Well, if we could setup our own project servers, invite Pinoy PC-owners to volunteer, and use it to conduct Filipino-led scientific researches then we would benefit a lot. It would help bridge the digital divide in the Philippines since now, the few Pinoys owning a PC at home could directly contribute something to advance our national interests, instead of their PC's being instruments for self-gratification (entertainment, Friendster, MySpace, gaming etc.) and money-making.
