Fedora Grid Computing SIG
The goal of the Fedora Grid Computing Special Interest group is to gather people interested in packaging grid software within Fedora.
Grid computing can mean different things to different people, it is certainly distributed computing with a security infrastructure. Relevant software can include:
- Data management software
- Batch Systems
- Information Systems
- Job Submission Systems
- Security, authentication, authorization software
- Messaging Software
Group Aims
- Link to other related groups. MPI, clouds.
- Create a yum group of grid client tools.
- Document some of the basic setup of grid software as provided within Fedora.
Packagers/Reviewers/People

- A mailing has been set up for discussion, package requests, comments: grid-computing mailing list.
