    We're software roadies. Software Freedom Conservancy is a public charity that acts as a non-profit home for dozens of Free, Libre, and Open Source Software (FLOSS) projects. Conservancy©s charitable mission is to help improve, develop, and defend FLOSS, and we do that by providing business, legal, and administrative services to our member projects. We have the honor of working with member projects comprised of, in our humble opinion, many of the best software developers in the world. Some of our member projects develop system software so ubiquitous that it permeates virtually every part of our society©s electronics-driven lifestyle. Other member projects are redefining how software will be written and even how computer science will be taught to the next generation of developers. Still others find their niche by solving a small-but- persistent problem better than anyone else ± and attract a cult following of users because of it. And, best of all, all of our member projects release their software under a license that allows the public to study, use, improve, and share the source code. Conservancy provides all of our ªrock starº member projects with a comprehensive suite of services, and then we get out of their way to let them do what they do best: write great software for the public©s benefit. Our structure. Conservancy acts as a fiscal sponsor to our member projects. We©ve engaged the leadership of each member project©s developer community and executed a fiscal sponsorship agreement that allows us to adopt that project as an official part of Conservancy©s corporate structure.

The analysis and comparison of these solutions with the existing ones are given. It was designed a new software architecture for controlling mobile robotic complexes on the base of two models. Developed simulators and usage of the actor model were the base for creating the technological platforms for distributed software control, providing the simultaneous access of several users to a group of mobile robots and their virtual models. Keywords: building a network of robotarium; distributed control of mobile robots and their simulation software for mobile robot; reservation methods in robotics; dynamic reprogramming 1. Main problems When developing intelligent robots, one of the problems is the lack of effective software to create systems of group control. For example, in the well-known software packages (ROS, MRS, and others) does not included specific development tools for control of distributed mechatronic systems, especially in remote mode.
