Learn about and integrate new people, there have been quite a few new subscriptions to the mailing list
Player/Stage/Gazebo packaging
Fawkes inclusion and small "robotics game" to develop to get the user easily involved in a simulation environment
RoboCup Soccer Server demo apps (maybe available already?)
New software packages to include
Finally prepare for a LiveCD containing all the robot software with an easy to use simulation environment, especially as teaser
Documentation to get people started with robotics (and the LiveCD)
Toby Collet's distro coordination request

SIG member introduced to each other
Player upgrade to 3.0.0 imminent (updated by rmattes, will be pushed by timn)
rmattes will propose gearbox and Stage 3.2 for Fedora inclusion, needs sponsor
timn will push Fawkes once 0.4 is out
tcollet helps getting Player patches included upstream
focus on getting a Player/Stage/Fawkes simulation environment on a LiveCD, likely based on F-12 during the rest of the year.
try to get interactive demos to get the user involved with the simulation environment easily. Can be based on Fawkes' Lua-based behavior engine.
ultimate goal: attract more people with the LiveCD and provide a common ground for future advancements.
