ROS 2 TSC Meeting Minutes 2023-08-17

General

@vmayoral First, to be clear: I have no personal interest in benchmarking and I do not have an opinion whatsoever about which approach to ROS 2 benchmarking is better or preferrable or whatever.

That being said:

You claim e.g. “consensus is reached” and “Most aspects in the feedback were discussed and addressed”.

I have read the REP proposal, the PR discussion and the Discourse thread.

My conclusions are:

  • Either the REP is intended to standardize the benchmarking approach for ROS 2, in which case:

    • It should not be an informational REP, and
    • At the very least it should address these and these comments, which it does not.

  • Or, the REP is intended as an informational REP, but

    • It is not at all written in an informational tone,
    • Not even this small request was applied to clarify the informational status.

I take note of your ongoing quarrel with Nvidia, and I take note of your complaints about the TSC procedures. Maybe you have a point, maybe you don’t. I am not voicing an opinion on that, I am voicing an opinion on this REP proposal. This proposal:

  • Was not intended to seek a common ground,
  • Does not comply to a Standards REP,
  • Does not comply either to an Informational REP.

So is it is only logical that it was rejected.
