Fawkes initial public release

After almost three years development the Fawkes Robot Software Framework is released as Open Source Software.

After RoboCup 2006, when the AllemaniACs of the Knowledge-Based Systems Group started to work on a new mid-size soccer robot, the decision was made to write a new software system. After almost three years it has evolved into a versatile robot software framework used on different platforms, real robots and in simulation.

Today we release the software as Open Source Software to the general public, in the hope that it will be useful to others and to build a community to create a joined effort to further improve and expand Fawkes. The now released software version 0.3 is a particular milestone for the project and its direction. It's an experimental base that we will now continue to improve making it easier to use Fawkes and to extend it by more robotics applications and tools. You are welcome to join the team!
