[Please follow up to debian-science]
Dear people,
first of all I would like to apologise because I have "BCC" this mail to
people that I think that use debian (or ubuntu) and has relation with the
robotics area and they are not subscribe to this list. If I'm wrong, sorry
for the noise and move this mail to /dev/null. ;-)
OTOH, if it's your case, and you know people that are interested, please, FF
this message.

What's debian-science?
From [1] , the goals are:
- Provide to researchers and scientists better experience when using Debian.
- Classify, package and distribute free software useful to science and
research.
- Support any quality efforts around free scientific software.
- Maintaining the Debian Science CDD [2]
You can use Debian Science perfectly as you are using Debian because it is a
completely internal project and is nothing else than Debian itself. We just
felt a need to found a team that works as a strike force for scientific
software inside Debian.
#metapackages provide an easy way of installing a range of software
appropriate to your particular field.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In general, all of us use a collection of packages that are common in the
scientific area. Under the umbrella of debian science, I would like to ask if
someone are interested in create some kind of group to create and maintain
software packages in the robotics area.
I have added to this mail people that I know that don't know how to create
packages, but they are users (and developers) and their collaboration with
ideas about interesting software or bugs or whatever is important.
Also, I have added people that has their own custom debian distribution based
on debian (or ubuntu) and their collaboration joining efforts to maintain
some packages could be decisive. I should mention that the robotics area is
very wide but there's a part that has a special relation with the hardware
(robots, devices, ...) that has some specific constraints: realtime kernels
and drivers.
OTOH, you cannot underestimate all the people that their work in the robotics
area is based on simulations or planning, where many times use software of
the games and they don't depend on any specific hardware.
To many kind of packages could go there, and a lot of tasks could be defined.
This mail is just a first approach to try to work together, to share opinions
(problems) to see if it could be done or not. I did a first fast and dirty
propose of packages (done or to package) [3]. The responsible tag is that i
have propose it.
If you are interested, please reply to the debian science list. If the group
is consolided, we can ask to create a specific list, but.
Opinions, ideas?
