Detailed Description

Vagrant boxes for Fedora Scientific will allow users to easily run Fedora Scientific in a virtual machine. This can be useful for users who are using another operating system as their host operating system and not have to manually download the ISO, and go through the installation process which can be unfamiliar or unnecessary hassle for users who may be new to Fedora or Linux.

Benefit to Fedora

This will lower the barrier of entry to potential Fedora Scientific and Fedora users.
