Community Volunteers
Folding@home is run by volunteers in two senses. Hundreds of thousands of donors contribute their idle CPU and GPU cycles — that's the part most people see. Behind that, a smaller but equally essential group of community volunteers have given their time and expertise: moderating the forum, translating the site, writing documentation, and contributing code. Folding@home would not be what it is without either group.
This page names a few of the community volunteers whose contributions have been particularly significant. Many others have helped on the Folding Forum over the years — far too many to list individually — and we're grateful to all of them.
Special thanks
We would like to thank a few of the many community members that have made large contributions of their time to Folding@home. Thanks to:
- Bruce Borden (bruce)
- Wiebo Westerhoff (WW)
- Tim Braun (7im)
- Stephane Renaud (Xilikon)
- Ivoshiee
- Jesse Victors (Jesse_V)
- Andrew Schofield (Uncle Fungus)
- Kevin Bernhagen (calxalot)
And to everyone who has helped on the Folding Forum answering donor questions over the years — we couldn't begin to list you all individually, but Folding@home runs in large part because of you.
Want to help?
If you want to contribute beyond folding cycles, there are open paths into every group above:
- The forum is where moderators come from — show up, help answer questions, and stay around.
- Code, bug reports, and feature ideas land at the F@h GitHub: fah-client-bastet and fah-web-client-bastet.
- Real-time chat happens on Discord.
- For translation, documentation, or anything else not covered by the channels above, get in touch via the contact page.
