The ROS 2 TSC Community Rep Election is currently happening. Results will be announced at ROSCon
Our colleagues at Formant have raised $21M for robot data management – Robot Report
Our friend at PickNik have raised another $2M from Cypress and Stellar Ventures. . Make sure you congratulate them at MoveItCon next week

ROSCon 2023 is next week! We can’t wait to see all of you! 
We’ll all be super busy next week so there probably won’t be a ROS news.
For those of you who can’t make it to ROSCon the live stream link will be posted on the ROSCon website just as soon as we go live! We’ll have the videos posted just as soon as we can. I’ll also pin the link on ROS Discourse.
