I’m very glad to be involved with the future of ROS. I started using ROS when ROS Jade was the newest distro. I remember asking my CSci teacher how to install ROS packages. His response was to use apt-get. I was new to Linux at the time and I couldn’t figure out what to type after sudo apt-get, so I ended up installing everything from source. My first ROS assignment took about 60 hours to complete. When I asked my teacher how long it should have taken he said “it would take me 4 hours so I would expect it to take you 20”. Since then I’ve worked with just about every layer of ROS. Never thought I’d be in a position to help guide it’s future direction.
My goal as a member of the ROS 2 TSC is to make ROS 2 approachable and easy to learn. Rover Robotics is very excited about making that happen.

Its a real honor to be joining this committee! Similar to Nick, I’ve learned so much from ROS and really believe in its vision for the future of robotics.
