Hi,
I haven't contributed to this SIG, but I have watched it for a while as I use Fedora on my main machine, but I use Ubuntu/ROS with my research. In general it's hard to get groups of any kind of people to switch from Ubuntu to Fedora for ROS when there is a lot of additional setup and compilation. Containers are a great way to introduce and show people what could be possible with Fedora. Our robotics development environment is now completely embedded inside of a docker image. This is great because we have a very complicated setup that takes time to install on individual developer machines. It's also used for all of our CI-CD. Also because everything is in a docker image I can run the docker image of Ubuntu+ROS on my fedora machine (including all GUI packages and hardware acceleration for our simulations). It's even possible to run it on Windows now. If there was a docker image of fedora+ROS I could relatively easily try to get our software framework running natively in Fedora. I think it would also encourage more people to try out the spin.

Hi, possible Robotics SIG folks! I know a lot of the base packages in https://labs.fedoraproject.org/en/robotics/ are still being maintained and updated, but I'm curious about the future of the Suite itself. I've gotten some pings recently about ROS (https://www.ros.org/), and wonder if any of the folks here (if anyone is still around) has any interest. I'm also curious if Robotics Suite still makes sense as a spin, or if might be better as a set of containers and use case for Fedora IoT. If anyone's still around, I'd love your thoughts!
I also think Robotics Suite makes sense as a spin rather than set of containers (specially since we have GUI packages too, which can't be ordinary containers); but I also agree that it might not get used & tested much.

Hedayat
