Recently under discussion on f-a-b is the idea of creating a million-node compute grid using Condor and other tools. This might include, for example, the ability to join the grid during firstboot. Catch up on that thread here: http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-advisory-board/2008-March/msg00022.... We are suffering from a cool name; we are in danger of calling it "Fedora@Home" in the meantime, and with one pick-up of that name in Fedora Weekly News, someone is going to come pressing trademark rights. Shall we declare it a codename in seek of a replacement? What this thing is: * A cool piece of technology with a grid client and Fedora-run grid master * A way to contribute to Fedora with spare CPU cycles from your machine(s); useful for everyone from Web surfing grandmas to kernel hackers with quad-cores * A chance to create something that Fedorans can use for good projects: - Distributed build-system - Social and technical causes that match with Fedora values/ideals - Cool research It's some kind of convergence, which is why it needs a cool name, right? - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, Developer Community Mgr.
