Hi Gazebo Community!

  • Progress updates:

    • A proposal was made to welcome Shameek Ganguly and Saurabh Kamat as full committers! Formal decision to be made in the next PMC meeting.
    • All Gazebo Vendor packages for Jetty have been released! :rocket:
    • An optimization for sdformat load time and memory is in review: sdformat#1589.
    • Work continues on the Jetty release, including closing tutorial party issues and a prerelease of gz-transport.
    • We’re tackling a gz-rendering regression on Conda (Mac) related to ogre-next.
    • Work is underway to create a gz-sim10-server deb package, which will be great for Docker and non-GUI setups.
    • New Jetty demos are available for Mass based auto inertia and a Lookup wheel slip plugin.
  • New agenda items:
    • We’ve started brainstorming the Gazebo-K Roadmap!
      • A good discussion started about balancing new features with maintenance and thinking about the long-term vision for Gazebo (e.g., performance of non-GPU sensors). We’ll be scheduling a separate meeting to dive deeper into this topic.
