Hi,
I haven't contributed to this SIG, but I have watched it for a while as I
use Fedora on my main machine, but I use Ubuntu/ROS with my research. In
general it's hard to get groups of any kind of people to switch from Ubuntu
to Fedora for ROS when there is a lot of additional setup and compilation.
Containers are a great way to introduce and show people what could be
possible with Fedora. Our robotics development environment is now
completely embedded inside of a docker image. This is great because we
have a very complicated setup that takes time to install on individual
developer machines. It's also used for all of our CI-CD. Also because
everything is in a docker image I can run the docker image of Ubuntu+ROS on
my fedora machine (including all GUI packages and hardware acceleration for
our simulations). It's even possible to run it on Windows now. If there
was a docker image of fedora+ROS I could relatively easily try to get our
software framework running natively in Fedora. I think it would also
encourage more people to try out the spin.

Hi, possible Robotics SIG folks!
I know a lot of the base packages in
https://labs.fedoraproject.org/en/robotics/ are
still being maintained and updated, but I'm curious about the future of the Suite
itself.
I've gotten some pings recently about ROS (
https://www.ros.org/), and wonder if any
of the folks here (if anyone is still around) has any interest.
I'm also curious if Robotics Suite still makes sense as a spin, or if might be better
as a set of containers and use case for Fedora IoT.
If anyone's still around, I'd love your thoughts!
I also think Robotics Suite makes sense as a spin rather than set of
containers (specially since we have GUI packages too, which can't be
ordinary containers); but I also agree that it might not get used & tested
much.
Regards,
Hedayat
