Thanks for a good issue!
~~One clarification on my patreon: it’s a subjective list of most interesting links that appeared in [Weekly Robotics](https://weeklyrobotics.com/) in a given month. Some ROS related news/blog posts/projects are quite likely to be featured there but the list won’t be limited to ROS 🙂~~ \< I re-read the link text and you’ve got me. Good one!
