Hi Gazebo Community!
This week’s meeting was held on 2025-02-24T19:00:00Z and the following is a summary:
- Progress updates:
- Zenoh<->gz-transport prototype: The prototype now leverages Zenoh liveness tokens on the publishers and subscribers. An external liveliness token is able to detect joins/drops. Additionally the prototype supports Zenoh configuration files loaded by the Zenoh session. We could now choose whether we want to use multicast or not, use the router (zenohd), etc.
- Conda for Windows: The migration from vcpkg to Conda has been completed.
- Infrastructure updates to the Windows agents: Plumbing work on automation and reuse code with ROS.
- Mesh inertia calculator: Support mesh optimization parameters in the mesh inertial calculator (PR #2770), more robust ways of correcting inertial mass matrix (PR #2775) and tutorial updates (PR #2782).
- Deprecating gz-launch: Initial work creating a new Gazebo system (PR #2792).
- New agenda items:
- Reminder of this month’s Gazebo Community meeting.
- Discussion on vendoring backwards-cpp. The proposal is to clean the vendor code and only include the header file.
- Discussion on how to provide community weekly updates with specific contribution ideas. The suggestion is to schedule an internal meeting to brainstorm.
- Discussion on the proposal to remove major versions from package names. The recommendation was to schedule a dedicated meeting to discuss next steps.
As always, the meeting notes are available at meeting notes are New Gazebo weekly agenda - Google Docs.
The next Gazebo PMC meeting will be on 2025-03-03T19:00:00Z (See Open Source Robotics Foundation official events)
