Hi,
Great to have you aboard! The ROS packaging feature is currently a draft that we'll probably have to update to re-target for f19. We wanted to get ROS Fuerte packaged for f18 as a feature, but didn't get enough work done in time and missed the feature deadline. ROS Groovy is also on its way (it should be out in October[1]), which makes it a good target for a f19 feature. I'll probably update the ROS feature page for ROS Groovy once it's released. I can start another email thread to discuss the packaging roadmap and other issues.

Hi folks,
I'm Ankur. I've been around the Fedora community for a few years now.
I'm a package maintainer and an ambassador, and well, a general
community monkey. I've just begun a masters by research course which is
based around mobile robot navigation in a dynamic environment. I've been
working with IMUs, the NAO and a few other things currently.
I intend to continue with robotics after masters (a PhD) and think I
could therefore help with the robotics SIG. I've seen that ROS is being
packaged for Fedora[1]. Since I'm already a package maintainer, I can
help with packaging and reviewing. Are there any packages that require
attention at the moment, a road plan maybe?
I haven't any experience with ROS (yet).
