SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – February 12, 2009 – To honor the legacy of Charles Darwin on the eve of his 200th birthday, Citrix Online, a division of Citrix Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CTXS) joins other corporate sponsors, and thousands of volunteers working behind the scenes, to assemble a massive tribute to the scientist who rocked the world with his theory on evolution and natural selection. The celebration will be in the form of a Web conference at which prominent scientists from leading universities, including Harvard, MIT, and Stanford will share their thoughts about Darwin’s legacy. Included will be the University of Wisconsin’s Professor Sean Carroll, who authored The Making of The Fittest: DNA and the Ultimate Forensic Record of Evolution and also Pulitzer Prize-winning author Jonathan Weiner.

GoToWebinar® will provide a web conference to link 1,000 members of the Facebook group “Can we find 200,000 by Feb. 12 to wish Darwin a happy 200th birthday”, prominent scientists and the public at large in their tribute. The Web conference takes place Thursday, February 12, 2009 at 1pm ET.

Less than two weeks ago, the Facebook group was started on a whim to attract just 200 people to celebrate the occasion. Because of its incredible growth, the group set a new goal of 200,000 members and created a live forum for members to learn more about Darwin and his contributions.

“We’re thrilled to honor Charles Darwin’s legacy by enabling 1,000 participants to be part of this global tribute to his extraordinary accomplishments which have had a profound impact on how we understand the evolution of life on earth,” said Bernardo de Albergaria, vice president and general manager of Global Marketing and eCommerce for Citrix Online. “With GoToWebinar, interested participants can easily and securely connect to the discussion.”
