Hi everyone,

I’m scheduling our monthly working group meetings for the year and need your availability. Please complete this poll—I’ll select a time that accommodates as many people as possible, with the first meeting starting in February.

Monthly sessions will cover:

  • Guest speakers from industry, research labs, and academia

  • Collaboration opportunities

  • Community-wide projects

  • Emerging topics

I’m looking forward to what this group can accomplish as ROS2 adoption accelerates across the maritime community.

Here’s a link to the poll: ROS Maritime WG Monthly Meetings - When2meet

Cheers,
Isaac

Hi all,

Following up on the working group announcement—we now have a regular meeting schedule locked in.

When: Last Tuesday of each month, 4–5pm EST
First meeting: February 24th, 2025

February agenda:

  • Introduction (I’m taking over as group organizer, figure I should probably introduce myself)

  • Proposed changes, meeting topics, and priorities for 2025

  • Overview of the new website and documentation

In the meantime, take a look at the new site: https://ros-maritime.github.io/maritime_robotic_landscape/

We’ll walk through it during the meeting, but exploring beforehand will help you come with questions and feedback.

Calendar invite: https://calendar.google.com/calendar/event?action=TEMPLATE&tmeid=N2tha25wZzI2ZGM0ZWJscTRtdTduNWNoam1fMjAyNjAyMjRUMjEwMDAwWiAwOGRhZWUzMjhhNGNjNzViYWU5MGU5MzM3NWE2YjQwOWE5OWI0NTc3OThjMjQwMTg4YTMyM2M5MjhhNjkzMTI4QGc&tmsrc=08daee328a4cc75bae90e93375a6b409a99b457798c240188a323c928a693128%40group.calendar.google.com&scp=ALL

Feel free to reach out on Zulip or here if you have any questions ahead of time.

Cheers,
Isaac

Thank you! New site looks great - love the operations checklist, have not seen something like it before, as previously I did simulation, and now we have a field ops department that takes care of it. Good to have well-rounded knowledge about these things.

I’ll try to make it - I’ll be in Scotland for AGU Ocean Sciences Meeting 2026 so it’ll be a bit late (our talk is 8ish am the morning after).
