Hi Gazebo Community!
This week’s meeting was held on 2026-01-26T19:00:00Z and the following is a summary:
-
PMC Business: None
-
New agenda items:
- It’s time to propose 2026 GSoC Projects. Proposals can be written on the Wiki and tracked in a spreadsheet.
- A Gazebo-classic postmortem survey for all PMC members is requested to be filled out by 2026-02-09T00:00:00Z.
- A weekly PR review/issue triage spreadsheet is being introduced to better manage and assign stale issues and PRs.
- A discussion was held on the status and future of Bazel support for Gazebo libraries. While the team is generally positive, we agreed that support will be on a best-effort basis.
- We had a discussion on what we need to do to get the “Next Gen” Gazebo working group started. The plan is to work on the scope and draft the charter while the Gazebo-classic postmortem survey is ongoing.
