        • The Master branch has to be always compilable
        • No accepting PRs until the CI passes
        • The CI of upperstream is compiling because of the amount of COLCON_IGNORES

        • The list of the PR that has to be merged first
        • Mike says that the CMakelist has to be fixed because of relative paths
        • Alex says that the best way to fix the CMakelist is by merging all the already opened PRs, because there are some PRs merged with the same error. Then he will open a pr solving all the issues.
      • Porting pick and place capabilities / visualization
        • Pick and place has been ported needs to be tested.
        • Also porting the visualization plugins

Is anyone still driving the Manipulation WG? If not, does anyone want to volunteer to take the lead on this? We (Intel) are willing to participate / contribute.

Hello @mkhansen,

Thanks for volunteering. AFAIK, nobody is currently leading it so I’d say that you’re more than welcome to take it from this point. Latest contributions to moveit2 are at https://github.com/acutronicrobotics/moveit2.

Ping me if you need support.
