Fedora Robotics Special Interest Group

Mission

Bring packages of open and free software related to robotics and educational software for robotics into Fedora and make Fedora fit to power (mobile) robots.

Members

Communication

Next meeting: not decided yet, watch mailing list, probably end of October 2008

Tasks

  • Package Player/Stage/Gazebo (makghosh, timn)
  • Package CARMEN (timn)
  • Package NBC/NXT (jspaleta)
  • Find more interesting packages and interested packagers
  • Create Fedora robotics spin with Player/Stage/Gazebo simulated demo

Packages

Interesting software proposed for packaging

Packages waiting for someone to take over

These packages have been postponed for now due to insufficient man power.

  • MARIE (makghosh), no upstream release for a long time, wiki page vandalized, had commits this year though (timn)
  • Simbad (makghosh)
  • Paparazzi, Open UAVs (timn)


Pending review requests

  • libkni - C++ library für the Katana robot arm
  • Stage - 2D multiple-robot simulator
  • rcssserver - Robocup 2D Soccer Simulation Server

Accepted packages

  • Player - Cross-platform robot device interface and server
  • rcssserver3d - RoboCup Soccer Simulation Server 3D
  • rcssbase - Robocup 2D Soccer Simulation Base Library
  • rcssmonitor - RoboCup 2D Soccer Simulator Monitor

Packages decided not to package for now

If you want to get involved you could start investigating the code and maybe revive the upstream project! The postponed packages could be packaged later but the have a lower priority as decided by the SIG. (Probably) Won't package:

  • RobotFlow (makghosh), upstream looks dead for several years, probably not a good idea (timn), +1, so it goes down the list and maybe moved out if there is no further upstream (makghosh)
