We are pleased to announce the creation of the Open Source Robotics Horde (OSRH), a new initiative of the ORC (Open Roboticist Constortium) in its ongoing efforts to maintain the Toolkit for Robotic Operations Layer Libraries (TROLL).
Although initially it may seem to have goals directly in opposition to the Open Source Robotics Alliance (OSRA), rest assured that another organization working on open source robotics will likely only lead to greater competition, and is unlikely to result in all-out war. Craft of software remains a common goal that both organizations aim to nourish.
The OSRH follows a guild membership model, leveraging the work of Dr. L. Roy Jenkins. We are also pleased to announce our inaugural guild members:
Blutelfen Robotics
Tauren
NightBorne
If you have any further questions, please visit our websiteand/or post questions here.
Do you know how the OSRH’s “guild model” will translate to collaborative objectives. I’ve seen certain guild models that heavily emphasize a Rapidly Actuated Innovation Development (RAID) obligations. Would violations result in removal (kick/ban)?
Also, how would Universities be obligated to participate in RAIDs. Depending on RAID obligations it may impact academic performance.
