A New Goal for Open Source (Red Hat News) [LWN.net]

Red Hat News takes a look at a team of soccer playing robots powered by Fedora. "The AllemaniACs use Fedora on every machine they have including desktops, laptops and the systems on the robots. More importantly, much of the software they need to program and communicate with their machines is pre-packaged in Fedora. The AllemaniACs are not only using Fedora, the team has also used its need for specific capabilities to contribute to open source through Fedora. When the team has found a need for open source software not found in Fedora already, they work on packaging it, and then feed that work back into the Fedora community."

I must say that Gazebo is the most advanced open source robotic simulator but still need a lot
of care (I am one of the developers). I am happy that it gets a Fedora package, hopefully it
will get a broader user base and more developers (Hint hint hint to whoever out there reading
this ;)
