ROS News for the Week of July 15th, 2024
The next ROS By-The-Bay is scheduled for 2024-08-02T01:00:00Z. I’ve lined up a fantastic visiting speaker, Prof. Florian Pokorny from KTH Royal Institute of Technology, for this month’s event. Prof. Pokorny’s and his team are behind the fantastic work at cloudgripper.org.
We also have two other ROS events happening this week:
My colleague @quarkytale has organized a Women in Robotics event featuring female open source robotics developer for July 30th at the Intrinsic offices. We would love to see you there!
MoveIt for ROS 2 Jazzy is out now and available on an apt server near you!
ROSDoc2 Now Available Now in Apt and PyPI! If you are a package maintainer please, please, please regularly set aside some time to update your documentation. The post above includes documentation on how to write good ROS documentation.
Our friends at Autoware have announced their 2024 challenge. There is over US$25K in prize money for contributions to the project!

Got a minute? 
We just added ROSDoc 2 to the ROS apt packages.. If you are a package maintainer please make sure your package renders on docs.ros.org using this documentation. If your package isn’t on ROS Index consider taking the time to add it.
