 * 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

Summary

 * 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

 * ultimate goal: attract more people with the LiveCD and provide a common ground for future advancements.
