Gazebo 9 Tutorial Party!

General
1

Hello everyone,

Gazebo 9 will be released on January 25th 2018. It will be a Long Term Support (LTS) version, so it will be supported for 5 years until 2023. It will be supported on Ubuntu Xenial and higher and OSX 10.11 and higher.

Following tradition, the Gazebo team will be testing all the tutorials against the pre-release. We would like to invite the community to join us to help reviewing the tutorials.

The official tutorial party times are as follows:

  • Start: Jan 23rd 5pm PST
  • End: Jan 25th 11am PST

We will be coordinating through a Google spreadsheet which has links to the tutorials and review guidelines.

There will also be Open Robotics staff hanging out here at Gazebo Community during most of the time to answer questions, just comment on this post to get help and discuss.

Another way you can help is by simply installing the Gazebo 9 pre-release and letting us know if anything is broken or looks odd.

Thank you for your help and support!
