Hello rustaceans! 🦀

The next ROS Rust Working Group meeting will be: 2020-11-18T15:00:00Z

> **[Google Meet: Online Web and Video Conferencing Calls | Google Workspace](https://meet.google.com/adt-ifsf-qbn)**
>
> Use Google Meet for secure online web conferencing calls and video chat as a part of Google Workspace.

Thanks for filling out the Doodle from the previous post to pick the next meeting time. I picked the most popular slot earlier in the day to accommodate our guest speakers from Europe with ATOLabs and ADLINK, who will be presenting and demoing Zenoh and [zenoh-plugin-dds](https://github.com/eclipse-zenoh/zenoh-plugin-dds):

> **[Zenoh - The Zero Overhead, Pub/Sub, Store, Query, and Compute Protocol.](https://zenoh.io/)**
>
> Eclipse Zenoh, unify data in motion, data at rest and computations.

ROS Rust WG presentation and demo of [Eclipse Zenoh](http://zenoh.io) project’s [zenoh-plugin-dds](https://github.com/eclipse-zenoh/zenoh-plugin-dds) which gives ROS 2: scalable, fault tolerant and efficient discovery; DDS bridging for WANs and to cloud; wireless support for WiFi, LTE, 5G, et al. Zenoh works with all Tier-1 ROS middlewares. Zenoh is written in Rust. Zenoh also includes [C clients for microcontrollers](https://github.com/eclipse-zenoh). rmw\_zenoh for micro-ROS is in progress. [Eclipse CycloneDDS](https://iot.eclipse.org/adopters/#iot.cyclonedds) has [Rust binding](https://github.com/atolab/cdds-rust) for native integration with Zenoh. Chat with Zenoh developers & users [via Gitter](https://gitter.im/atolab/zenoh)
