Hi all
The second half of the FB Sprint season starts again this weekend.
edit: The Chosen project for Sprint #15 is: Gerasim
Hopefully, you are well rested and eager to start crunching for the small number of Sprint projects that actually have tasks available !
I do try to ensure that projects will be able to support the high number of downloads that the FB Teams and Members will be requesting, so with luck, over the next three-four months a significant number of completed tasks will be created for the respective projects.
Best wishes, as always
Tim

Gerasim did its best but I think we killed it (just) before the end of the sprint : website not reachable, impossible to upload results, FB sprint stat page stuck at 13:45 UTC...
Mmm apparently it will be for a long time,
says the admin.

It went down overnight (2200 to 0300?) but it looks like somebody managed to get it to limp along after that then it died at 1400.
On a positive note (for me), it stopped Herby44 from overtaking me this time like he normally does on the last day.of virtually every sprint ..... sorry!

Hi all
Just seen the last 2 postings.
It was unfortunate that the Gerasim website became unresponsive, during the last hours of the Sprint.
And according to the FB Sprint #15 league tables, some sort of update did take place at about "2025-08-31 13:45 UTC" which was 1 hr 15 mins BEFORE the official end of the Sprint (at 15:00 UTC).
But I was not taking snapshots of the stats in the hours up to this time, so I have no idea of whether these are the stats from any specific point in time, before the end.
However, it's the same for all Teams and Members, so whatever total figure is shown is still going to be a good representation of the various final Sprint positions and hence the FB points awarded would still be about the same.
Of course the "losers" in this scenario are the Teams and Members who do not upload work units until just before the Sprint finishing time. But that's a risk one has to take, if you do not upload as soon as the task has been completed on each host.
regards
Tim
