Thanks for offering. Let us continue discussion in [ros-drivers/openni2\_camera#90](https://github.com/ros-drivers/openni2_camera/issues/90) to keep discourse less noisy from very specific subjects like this.

It would seem Persistent Systems was, well, less than _persistent_ in porting this (sorry, couldn’t help myself with that one).

I’ve got a mostly working port of openni2\_camera, it is still a bit hacky, but details are posted in the ticket on GitHub: [ros2 adaption · Issue #90 · ros-drivers/openni2\_camera · GitHub](https://github.com/ros-drivers/openni2_camera/issues/90)
