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.

Ankur,

Will you be making a post for the Fedora Magazine about this session?

Thanks,

Please try and read up a little beforehand. I'll see you there!

Please note
Many of us in the Fedora community are not able to travel.  Is it possible to video the workshops, to keep the most salient parts.  I am very keen to learn the week 2 stuff and the rest of the stuff, thereafter.  If there are slides that I can use, I would like to do a similar presentation for Quebec and the North Eastern part of Canada/USA.

Regards

Leslie

I can maybe help in organizing/delivering similar session in-person
separately for Quebec region. I was supposed to be at Beijing and help
Ankur in this packaging 101 session but some exams have ruined the
plan :-/ I can not however do the SCL/ROS packaging alone (Which
essentially means I can just do the week 2 thing) I stay in Montreal
just for the info.

Hi Ankur,

The two times in the above links do not match. I am not sure
which is the correct one.
