SETI Releases Its Collected Data to the Public, Wants Open-Source Search for Whatever's Out There

,----[ Quote ]
| Over the past decade, those who wished to 
| contribute to SETI's mission of locating 
| life elsewhere in the universe could leave 
| their computers on running a special 
| screensaver and donate their unused 
| computing power to the cause. Now, SETI 
| director Jill Tarter is asking people 
| around the globe to get more involved in 
| the Search for Extraterrestrial 
| Intelligence by opening up SETI's servers 
| to the public calling for a worldwide, open 
| source contribution to the search.
