== Project Details ==
Fedora Nightlife is a project for creating a Fedora community grid. People will be able to donate idle capacity from their own computers to an open, general-purpose Fedora-run grid for processing socially beneficial work and scientific research that requires access to large amounts of computing power. Given the large number of Fedora users, we hope to eventually be able to build a community grid of over a million nodes at Fedora. This will be a great example of the power of the Fedora community, give people new and meaningful ways to contribute to Fedora, advance the development of large-scale grid software, and lead to real benefits for the world. A core part of Fedora Nightlife's mission will be to provide a complete open-source grid infrastructure suitable for computing a full spectrum of tasks. This includes: * The core operating system and execution environments * The necessary libraries for many workloads * The workload scheduler * Facilities for managing and enforcing various policies * and so onTBA
