Gazebo PMC Meeting Minutes 2025-10-20

Hi Gazebo Community!
This week’s meeting was held on 2025-10-20T18:00:00Z and the following is a summary:

  • Progress updates:

    • The buildfarm team is triaging issues; you can see the status here: :classical_building: Buildfarm Issue Triage
    • A new gz-transport build issue was reported for MacOS.
    • Work on Zenoh integration continues: the zenoh_echo example was updated, and prototyping for Zenoh SHM (Shared Memory) is in progress.
  • New agenda items:

    • This meeting was dedicated to brainstorming the Gazebo Kura roadmap.

    • Gazebo-K Roadmap Community Survey: We discussed the results of the recent roadmap survey. The key finding is that users prioritize:

      1. Physics Performance (e.g., faster simulation, better multi-threading)
      2. Performance of rendering based sensors (eg camera, lidar).
      3. Rendering + Graphics Quality (e.g., photorealism, lighting, materials)
    • Roadmap Strategy: The plan is to split the roadmap into two parts: 1) A primary roadmap with committed items, and 2) A secondary “wishlist” to encourage community contributions. We aim to finalize the primary focus areas before ROSCON.

As always, the meeting notes are available at meeting notes are :classical_building: New Gazebo weekly agenda - Google Docs.

The next Gazebo PMC meeting will be on 2025-11-03T19:00:00Z (See Open Source Robotics Foundation official events)
