*Proposal submission deadline: 9th of December 2012*

Presentations and tutorials on all topics related to ROS are invited.
 Examples include introducing attendees to a ROS package or library,
exploring how to use tools, manipulating sensor data, and applications for
robots.

Proposals will be reviewed by an ad-hoc committee that will evaluate fit,
impact, and balance.

We cannot offer sessions that are not proposed!  If there is a topic on
which you would like to present, please propose it.  If you have an idea
for an important topic that you do not want to present yourself, please
post it to ros-users at code.ros.org.
