Hi all,

Agenda

• Updates on expansion of people with availability to help with releases
• Review remaining work on Jazzy and Rolling compatibility
• Discussion about revising our Rolling deprecation check strategy

Reply here or email me (nathan@picknik.ai) with additional topics!

(I will try and get the community calendar fixed)

With some additional feedback, I moved the meeting from Tuesday the 16th to Thursday the 18th.

@nathanbrooks For posterity and related to the discussion of how best to support multiple distros in the same branch (read: depend on different packages [or versions of packages] depending on ROS distro used, the rough equivalent of doing this but in CMakelists/package.xml), the ROSCon lightning talk I mentioned was this one. So in short, to not depend on the ROS_DISTRO env variable but instead on the version of the package you found.

As an aside I also mentioned catkin_lint as a means of enforcing in CI that there is no discrepancy between packages that are find_packageed in CMakelists.txt vs declared as dependencies in package.xml. But I’m not aware of a ROS 2 equivalent.
