#270 Website for Fedora Robotics Spin
Closed: Fixed None Opened 12 years ago by rmattes.

Hi,

The Fedora Robotics spin was recently approved as an official Fedora Project spin, by the Spins SIG and the Fedora board. Like the Scientific Spin, we'd like to get onto the spins.fedoraproject.org page.

Summary: An open environment for robotics development.

Slogan/Tagline: Dive into Robotics.

Banner: https://fedorahosted.org/design-team/ticket/178 (though the tagline on the image needs to be changed)

Home:
The Fedora Robotics spin provides a wide variety of free and open robotics software packages. These range from hardware accessory libraries for the Hokuyo laser scanners or Katana robotic arm to software systems like Fawkes or Player/Stage and simulation environments such as Gazebo and RoboCup Soccer Simulation Server 2D/3D. It also provides a ready to use development environment for robotics including useful libraries such as OpenCV computer vision library, Festival text to speech system and MRPT.

The Robotics spin is targeted at people just discovering their interest in robotics as well as experienced roboticists. For the former we provide a readily usable simulation environment with an introductory hands-on demonstration, and for the latter we provide a full development environment, to be used immediately.

Want to know more? Check out the [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Robotics| Robotics] page on the Fedora wiki.

Download:
Want to take the Robotics Spin for a test drive? Download the LiveDVD, burn it to DVD or USB (see http://spins.fedoraproject.org/support for instructions,) and boot into a complete Robotics Development environment. If you like what you see, install it to your hard drive for the full experience!

If you've already got Fedora installed, there's no need to download the LiveDVD. You can install a full Robotics development environment using the single command:
yum groupinstall "Robotics"

Support:
We can key off of the existing support pages, with the following as the mailing list and chat options:
Mailing list - robotics@lists.fedoraproject.org
IRC - #fedora-robotics on freenode
SIG - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Robotics

Our Spin submission is at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Robotics_Spin, we're addressing the issues in the Discussion page on this ticket.


Created spins page. Its only preliminary as i used what was currently available. If there are updates to the content and banner images, let us know and we'll update it accordingly.

In fedora-web.git repo, changes are in 41924f56f7213735585fdeea44940d74e71e1aa2.

Thanks for that, and thanks for following up on the banner bug. The blurb for the Download page is still the Scientific spin's, and the summary sentence "Check out the Robotics page on the Fedora wiki" should have 'Robotics' be a link to fp.o/wiki/Robotics. Otherwise, it's looking good! Please let us know if you need anything else from us.

I meant to put that link there but i forgot. It added now.

The site looks good! However, it looks like the Download tab for the Robotics spin contains the Fedora Scientific information. Can we change it to what's in the original ticket, under Download? Thanks!

Corrected, thanks.
All should be fixed now, tell us if you need any other update.
