Yes, I just noticed recently that had changed on the PG site.This one is 10 days long, not just 5: :-/
This one is obviously not going to happen anymore. :-(8/15 - 8/29 - SETI-Wow Event -
I'm struggling getting new task from seti as well. Sad days ahead.This one is obviously not going to happen anymore. :-(
The hosts thought about bringing the final Wow!-Event forward into the last two weeks of March, but then dropped the idea in face of the project's current struggles. (Source, in German. They designated the last two weeks as an internal event of their team though.)
The PG challenge schedule seems finalized now:Primegrid 2021 tentative schedule, follow the link.
The 18th Birthday will be skipped, or perhaps just delayed:November

Dear fellow crunchers,
16 November 2022 marks the 18th anniversary of the World Community Grid going live. Ever since the project's 5th birthday in 2009, SETI.Germany has celebrated this occasion with the annual World Community Grid Birthday Challenge. Unfortunately, this tradition will take a break this year.
The project has still not been officially restarted after the handover from IBM to Krembil Research Institute and the resulting longer break for moving to a new server infrastructure, and is currently in test mode. At this time, neither a continuous task availability nor a constant accessibility of the project website is guaranteed, and often the network bandwidth seems to be at capacity. Although there has been some improvement in the last few weeks, we do not feel that running a challenge under these circumstances would be a good idea, as it would probably neither bring much joy to the participants nor provide the project team with any additional insight.
The 18th Birthday Challenge will therefore not take place.
We hope that the project will soon be able to fix its problems and officially resume normal operation. Maybe there will be an opportunity for a delayed challenge to celebrate the project's 18th birthday, otherwise the tradition can perhaps be revived for the 19th birthday.
But they canceled it again now. WCG's site stability and work availability are just not reliable enough.I edited the previous post:
SETI.Germany added the WCG Birthday Challenge back to their calendar.
The 2024 PrimeGrid challenges schedule is now public.The PrimeGrid challenges schedule and Boinc Games sprint schedule are not yet finalized, AFAIK.
SETI.Germany members attempted to get back in touch with WCG admins to discuss possible details of a challenge, but had no luck so far. SG's thread about it starts here at post #13:November
11/13 - 11/20 (07:00 UTC) PrimeGrid "World Kindness Day" challenge (PSP-LLR, 7 days)
11/16 - 11/23 (00:00 UTC) World Community Grid 20th Birthday Challenge (7 days)— probably not happening
