I'm thinking of starting teams on a number of BOINC projects.  The 
purpose of these teams it to promote transhumanism.  I want ideas on a 
name I can use for all the teams and if any of you have any projects in 
mind.  Here's a list and their site of the ones I personally think 
would benefit the transhumanist movement.  All of these do research in 
biotechnology, nano-technology and artificial intelligence.  I believe 
if any one in the transhumanist movement expects to have any 
significant breakthroughs in these fields by 2050, distributed 
computing is the most advanced, efficient technology to do this 
with.  Also, a promotion "campaign" using sites like digg.com, 
slashdot.org  or other similar sites would be an idea.
