Would like to join as well

Nice to know that! Maybe it is possible to adapt some UW open source feature that maybe ROCK has and ROS doesn’t… Who knows?

Hi,

Nice initiative, I would be interested in the ROS 2 simulation part.
A few custom simulators were developed in ROS 1, at the time there was nothing in Gazebo to do so. We would probably benefit from less divergence in ROS 2 / Ignition.

Very nice initiative. Would like to join as well.

Hi!
I am interested in this working group.
I am a team member of OUXT Polaris, Martime RobotX team in Japan.

OUXT Polaris

We are the only student-led team in Japan that participates in the Autopilot Ship Robot Contest held in Hawaii!

Our software is all open source.

OUXT-Polaris

Osaka Union RobotX Team. OUXT-Polaris has 156 repositories available. Follow their code on GitHub.

I am looking forward to attend this working group!

I want to join as well

nadavschwalb · 2022-01-21T08:19:50.983Z

Sounds very interesting, I started a roboboat team last year, would be very interested to participate

ivandor · 2022-01-21T21:25:31.986Z

This is a great idea. I’d love to be involved!

Matosinho · 2022-01-23T14:09:02.832Z

It’s me again! I was very happy with all the replies, it is very nice to see that there are a lot of people insterested in contributing. It is time for us to get together and discuss better what we shall do. I just edited the main post with a “Let’s get together” section. Please answer the doodle and google forms if you are interested in contributing.

snwu · 2022-01-24T04:18:19.591Z

Support! I’ll try to participate in any way I can.

mabelzhang · 2022-01-26T04:54:37.753Z

Will the meeting notes be posted? It’d be nice for people who cannot make the time.

Matosinho · 2022-01-26T05:19:18.424Z

Yes! This would be actually the meeting to better define some topics, such as members who actively wants to code, to better define the work scope… So we can proceed with the community working group tutorial and start to have regular meetings. We will definetely create a new post wiith the definitions of this meeting and maybe another poll as well.

Also, if the times in the poll are not good for you, you can send me when is better for you, so I can add it to the poll.

Katherine_Scott · 2022-01-26T18:03:14.699Z

@Matosinho Please let me know your plans. I would be more than happy to record a video of the meeting or post a recording to the Open Robotics channels. I can also help get the word out to the broader community.

Matosinho · 2022-01-28T04:42:36.811Z

Hey everyone! It is me again. Thank you all for answering to the forms and doodle poll. Almost a week has passed since I opened the forms for the first meeting. I think is time to close the doodle poll, so we can create the online event and put in our schedules for the next week. If you didn’t answer yet or know someone interested who hasn’t answered, this is your chance. I’m going to close the poll in approximately 36h~48h from this post. I’m excited to meet you all in the next week

Matosinho · 2022-01-30T05:31:19.601Z

First meeting time and date have been settled! Checkout the new edit of this post. The agenda will be posted probably on monday or tuesday in another post. Stay tuned! See you soon

@Matosinho I strongly suggest making a new post so that people get the notification with a fresh title in their notifications. You can link to it from this thread so that people on this one can find it quickly too.
