  • 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)

  • 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.

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