The [ROS PMC](https://osralliance.org/staging/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/ros_project_charter.pdf) meeting for this week was on Tuesday. The notes from the meeting are available at [ROS PMC weekly meeting agenda](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TGXYp33N00ZJtilsRzfClFXcSyMa4QKVNmA03Lx9D7w/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.cwb6c9erp1hh)

## ROS PMC Business

- Reminder: Funding proposals are due to the Technical Governance Committee (TGC) at the end of the month ( **June 30** ).

## Regular Business

### Buildfarm update

The buildfarm update is a weekly check-in on the status of the ROS 2 buildfarm. We track new issues and regressions to ensure the stability of the project.

- 🆕 Issues
  - No new issues!

- ⚠ Priorities
  - PTAL [Buildfarm Issues Triage Sheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1gX7Hw_aVsI4U05i2-NxCY66a4CmRy1Yyb6dokK5QtMg/edit?gid=0#gid=0) (16 issues open in total).
  - Build regression: `test_rosidl_buffer` failing in CycloneDDS Resolute build because it cannot find `rosidl_typesupport_fastrtps_cppConfig` ([ros2/rosidl#964](https://github.com/ros2/rosidl/issues/964)).
    - Discussion around ensuring Fast CDR is built and renaming `rosidl_typesupport_fastrtps` to `rosidl_typesupport_fastcdr` in M-Turtle.

  - Build regression: `test_launch_ros` causing nightly\_win failures via a Windows access violation ([ros2/launch\_ros#539](https://github.com/ros2/launch_ros/issues/539)).
    - `@mjcarroll` is investigating Windows executor/workspace issues.

  - Nightly builds are experiencing timeouts and slow execution, partially attributed to recent Ubuntu updates and kernel security patches.

### Waffle note-taker

Waffle is a weekly meeting where maintainers triage incoming issues and pull requests that haven’t been otherwise acted upon. One person per week is assigned to be the “waffle note-taker” to both take notes in the meeting to keep the meeting as efficient as possible.

### [Rosdistro assignments](https://github.com/ros/rosdistro)

Rosdistro is a weekly assignment to monitor incoming issues and pull requests in [GitHub - ros/rosdistro: This repo maintains a lists of repositories for each ROS distribution](https://github.com/ros/rosdistro). Two people per week are assigned to be the rosdistro maintainers.

- Jun 2 - Jun 9 - @tfoote + @wjwwood
- Outgoing rosdistro
  - It was discussed that we should potentially bring in Rob Woolley (@robwoolley) as an official reviewer for OpenEmbedded rules.
  - Discussion on Nix rules: Nix rules are hard to validate programmatically, we should find someone that would be willing to be a community reviewer of Nix rules.

### [Release Management](https://osrf.zulipchat.com/#narrow/channel/526029-ROS-PMC/topic/Release.20Management.20Thread)

Release Management tracks the status of upcoming releases, patches, and syncs across the active ROS distributions.

- @christophebedard (Humble)
  - No updates.

- @yadunund (Rolling)
  - No updates.

- @marcogg (Jazzy)
  - Preparing for Jazzy sync and patch release on 2026-06-08 ([Discourse announcement](https://discourse.openrobotics.org/t/preparing-for-jazzy-sync-and-patch-release-2026-06-08/55225)).

- @cottsay (Kilted)
  - Kilted sync scheduled for this week.

- @sloretz (Lyrical)
  - Lyrical sync scheduled for this week (freeze tomorrow).

- Lyrical Release Working Group (@sloretz)
  - Retrospective scheduled for Jun 8, 2026, at 9:00 AM PDT (immediately following Infrastructure PMC).

## Agenda

- [@sloretz] ROS Lyrical Retrospective
  - Scheduled for Jun 8, 2026. Please fill out the feedback [start-stop-continue form](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSefHw-kRJWoLDCeualB2ihe7-v_0LSCVuRmvfcxNe9kRmwnbA/viewform?usp=header).

- [@mjcarroll] PSA: Removing Python2 rosdep keys
  - Progressing through five PRs ([rosdistro#51715](https://github.com/ros/rosdistro/issues/51715)). The first four are pure removals.

- [@mjcarroll] Google Summer of Code (GSoC) Updates
  - GSoC student Ammaar shared a performance monitoring dashboard mockup.
  - Discussion on hosting: Grafana/Prometheus was suggested, but @cottsay raised concerns over infrastructure maintenance burden and suggested looking into static JSON with client-side rendering.

- [@mjcarroll] Rolling Distribution Sync Policy
  - Proposal to automate testing-to-main syncs for Rolling (eliminating manual syncs to main).
  - Stricter automated thresholds (like `ros-desktop-full`) could be adjusted dynamically before releases.
  - **Next Action:** Write a Discourse proposal to gather community feedback before PMC voting.

- [@mjcarroll] Funding Proposals (due June 30)
  - [@christophebedard] CI strategy overhaul: Focus on speeding up CI by changing how/what is tested, documenting CI onboarding, and automating builds via contracted help.
  - [@mjcarroll] Canonical end-to-end demo: An integrated demo of Gazebo, ROS, and `ros2_control` in a neat package. Joint-PMC proposals (e.g. Gazebo + ROS) have higher approval odds.
  - [@cottsay] Hardware certification & Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing: Pay a contractor to establish a certification program with public dashboard reporting and SBOM/HBOM formats.
  - [@cottsay] Commodity hardware drivers: Fund development of basic drivers (IMUs, motor controllers) to improve ROS 2 driver coverage and onboarding compared to ROS 1.

## Action Items

- [@everyone](https://discourse.openrobotics.org/groups/everyone)
  - Submit funding proposals to the TGC by June 30.

- @mjcarroll
  - Write a proposal on the Rolling repository sync policy for Discourse to gather community input.
  - Start a Zulip thread in the ROS General channel to coordinate funding proposals.

- @sloretz
  - Host and organize the ROS Lyrical Retrospective meeting on Monday, Jun 8
