Hi Gazebo Community!

This week’s meeting was held on 2026-04-13T18:00:00Z and the following is a summary:

## New agenda items

- Removing dependency on freeimage ([gazebosim/gz-rendering#1235](https://github.com/gazebosim/gz-rendering/issues/1235)): Freeimage is no longer maintained and has multiple CVEs. It will be disabled in homebrew on 2027-01-10T00:00:00Z. The PMC decided to drop Ogre 1.9 support on homebrew. A decision for Ubuntu 26.04 is pending further investigation.
- Feedback on potential Ogre 2.3 ABI change ([OGRECave/ogre-next#568](https://github.com/OGRECave/ogre-next/pull/568)): A suggestion was made to add a flag to make the changes optional.
- Ubuntu Resolute testing: Efforts are underway to test Ubuntu Resolute using `action-ros-ci` and `action-ci-gz`.

## Updates

- Buildfarm: No new issues were reported last week. Work is ongoing for a backport PR to address a `gz-msgs8` clang warning ([gazebosim/gz-msgs/pull/57](https://github.com/gazebosim/gz-msgs/pull/57)).
- gz-transport: Zenoh shared memory support is being enabled ([gazebosim/gz-transport/pull/842](https://github.com/gazebosim/gz-transport/pull/842)) and a fix for async signal safety was proposed ([gazebosim/gz-transport/pull/848](https://github.com/gazebosim/gz-transport/pull/848)).
- gz-rotary: Updates are in progress for documentation ([gazebosim/docs/pull/685](https://github.com/gazebosim/docs/pull/685)) and OCI images ([openrobotics/gz\_oci\_images/pull/12](https://github.com/openrobotics/gz_oci_images/pull/12)).
- gz-rendering: Recent fixes include moving pixi paths to prevent cleanup issues ([gazebo-tooling/release-tools/pull/1477](https://github.com/gazebo-tooling/release-tools/pull/1477)) and deduplicating `OGRE_RESOURCE_PATH` in the OGRE1 constructor ([gazebosim/gz-rendering/pull/1254](https://github.com/gazebosim/gz-rendering/pull/1254)).
