As 2024 draws to a close, we’re happy to say that the OSRA has had a successful first eight months of operation. Although we still have much to do with spinning up all the different bits of the OSRA, in the past eight months we have set up the Technical Governance Committee (TGC) and four Project Management Committees (PMCs) for ROS, Gazebo, Open-RMF and Infrastructure. The TGC has set up one Special Interest Group (SIG) and two Technical Committees (TCs), one of which (on the use of generative AI tools) has already completed its work.
The TGC has discussed several technical matters of relevance to the projects that were brought up by the TGC members. Some of these have been resolved, and some are on-going. The TGC is looking forward to an even more productive 2025 with several important matters to discuss, not the least of which is to begin applying OSRA membership dues to project requests.
The PMCs are starting to grow, too. Both the ROS and the Gazebo PMCs are beginning to mentor new Committers and PMC Members from the community.
