Hello all. I was wondering if anyone has any contacts with Folding@home. I have Folding@home Portable built, tested, and ready to go to help with simulating potentially druggable protein targets on Coronavirus, but don't have any contacts with Folding@home to get it approved for release. Any assistance is appreciated! Stay safe and healthy out there everyone.
Best
John

I'm trying to contact them. I wrote a message on their forum and it must be available soon.
I see contact information
I see contact information (foldingathome@choderalab.org) on this blog post regarding COVID-19:
https://foldingathome.org/2020/03/10/covid19-update/
Email
The email address appears to be for their bio partner on the COVID data, not for the Folding@home team themselves.
Twitter?
Try responding to this tweet, either directly or by DM: https://twitter.com/foldingathome/status/1238568504200253442?s=19
I've sent them a tweet -
I've sent them a tweet - https://twitter.com/jbaert/status/1239180962929487872. Will forward any communication if they pick up on it.
Reading through the wikipedia page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Folding@home_cores), there might be issues with licensing, since all the cores they're packing come with different licenses. It's not GPL/MIT across the board :/
Tweeted
I tweeted directly to them previously but wanted to see if anyone had something more direct.
Contact done!
Hi!
I've received the following reply: "FAH's systems programmer would like to link to this version before approving it. Please send the instructions to me in a PM."
I will send an email to you, John, so you can talk directly to them. Or do you prefer that I continue to talk to them?
Anyway, further information are in e-mail. Please look at spam folder if you do not receive it. It has links, your email program maybe filter the message.
In Touch
I got a note from someone on the team and have sent them a link to the Dev Test build. Thanks!
Please Mr T. Haller, it is no
Please Mr T. Haller, it is no time for politics and please release working version if you have it as it is matter of life and death and formalities and approvals do not matter anymore.
Portable would be really a easier as official install version is quite a mess with data storage.
