[Ambassadors] ROS and RPM packaging IRC workshop series

[Ankur Sinha]

Hi,

I intend to take a ROS RPM packaging session at the upcoming FUDCon at
Beijing in May. With that in mind, I'd like to take a couple of
workshops to help interested parties learn the tools before the final
hack session, so that we can get some actual work done at the event. A
workshop a week should be fine:

Week #1: Introduction to ROS - what is ROS, why it'll be good to package
it up for Fedora
Week #2: Introduction to RPM packaging - a basic introduction where
we'll walk through the hello world package
Week #3: Introduction to SCL and ROS packaging
Week #4: Q&A session

The FUDCon is still 7 weeks away. That gives us enough time. 

Please forward this e-mail to the regional mailing lists, and anyone
interested in the topics, *especially* people that plan to attend the
FUDCon and contribute to Fedora as package maintainers.

If you'd like to attend the sessions, please fill in the whenisgood
event organizer before Sunday, April 13. We will begin next week.
