Previous Action Points

  • Administrative: call for volunteers update
  • Action items from ROSCon 2022 Maritime Birds of a Feather update

General Business

Since attendance was low we decided to just go through the kanban and keep it short

Review kanban

On marine specific message standardization:

  • The prototype messages do not seem to be commonly used (Arjo)
  • apl-ocean-engineering’s hydrographic_msgs repo is being used more frequently.
  • It was considered to keep using their repo as they seem to maintain it.

Promotion & Communication

It was considered to check out discord for promoting these meetings (and perhaps have them there?)

Arjo suggested considering to have less frequent meetings. We will consider options during the next meeting of winding down or not.

Action Items

  • Yuri will do another post for looking for volunteers for the meetings
