Building Manager/March 14, 2011

Accomplishments

Ken: Putting together debrief on PyCon. Thing-o-matic arrived! verified that app manager is released as multimaster_experimental.
Bhaskara: updated C++ of warehouse.
Gil: started writing RIDE app for turtlebot
Nate: Turtlebot is almost in sim. Working on reducer for URDF to Gazebo. URDF representation is often not optimal for Gazebo/ODE (fixed joints). Should be easier to simulate multiple turtlebots.
Tully/Melonee: turtlebot, turtlebot, turtlebot (tutorials, web pages, photoshoot, etc...). Tony has one of the turtlebots to work on install and tutorials.

Bhaskara: hopefully work on map storage this week. Giving a talk at Berkeley later this week.
Gil: try to get turtlebot working in RIDE, possibly two, now that they are ready
Nate: might have a good opportunity to use new PR2 to publish data to warehouse continuously with continuous_ops.
Ken: party to put together Thing-o-matic TBD. Working with ROS/Android stuff.
Tully: turtlebots being put together. Working on making more robust (bumper/stall detection).
