Until a minute ago, our front page still showed in the right-side Events
column only items about the _November_ 2011 and December 2011 meetings.
In other words, nobody on the Web Team bothered to update it after the
November meeting.
I keep leaving things like that small task hanging, hoping folks will
help out.
Reminder: We're talking about the file 'events.html'. How to maintain
SVLUG's Web site is detailed here:
http://www.svlug.org/teams/web-team.php
I've brought events.html up to date, BUT it'll need updating again
Wednesday night.

MAIN PRESENTATION
TOPIC: Linux-Based Personal Robotics
PRESENTED BY:
Tully Foote
Systems Engineer, Willow Garage
TOPIC SUMMARY:
ROS (Robot Operating System, http://www.ros.org/) provides libraries
and tools to help software developers create robot applications. It
provides hardware abstraction, device drivers, libraries, visualizers,
message-passing, package management, and more.
In building ROS, we use Linux both as a platform and as a model for
development. As a platform, Linux provides a great development
environment and tools, in addition to well-packaged libraries that are
tested and integrated. As a model for development, the open-source
community built up around Linux is one of the most productive ways to
develop.
ABOUT THE PRESENTER:
As a Systems Engineer at Willow Garage (http://www.willowgarage.com/),
Tully Foote is a core developer of the ROS ecosystem. He works on
core tools and libraries. Recently, he has been focusing on extending
the support of ROS and the infrastructure to more platforms and
architectures. Previous to working at Willow Garage, he worked on
autonomous cars in all three of the DARPA Grand Challenges, first
at CalTech and then at UPenn for the Urban Challenge.
