Installation for OSX

@svyatoslavdm asks whether it is possible to get installation instructions for OSX .

We do have instructions for OSX platforms available from our manual, even though they're certainly not exhaustive to cover the whole set of topics we agreed on, especially considering Gazebo in the game.

@vtikha might help in this respect.

Things to fix

• http://icub.org/school/latest is unreachable.
• Remove VVV20 from https://wiki.icub.org/wiki/Main_Page as we didn't run it.

Docker and Gitpod

@vtikha @traversaro please have a look at SW Installation page and report here any thought and/or comments.

In particular, I'm still undecided about the Gitpod infrastructure ☁
To tell that we can use it, we ought to make sure that all the tutorials/assignments we're going to give can run on Gitpod too.
I'm confident that we're ok with that, but please double-check it.

Also, we're relying on the vvv-school docker image as of now, which does not stick to any official distro release.
I believe that's not a real problem unless we say that we want to put forward the versioning.
In the latter case, I can conveniently generate an image here in this org.

Training Program

Here's the program 📅

Feel free to edit the page at your convenience.
I've left old material, which is available from within material/slides.

I have still to review my day. I will leave references to the assignments although I won't be covering them as agreed.
Assignments URL's come already with the /generate postfix.
