Canada has long been an integral part of the ROS ecosystem, and I’m excited to announce the formation of ROS-ON, a user group specifically for ROS developers in and around Ontario. And we’re having our first event with the biggest name in the Ontario ROS ecosystem: Clearpath Robotics.
What: Socialization, pizza and some invited talks (TBA). Plus free stickers
Please RSVP via this link*. Attendance won’t cost you a Toonie, but RSVPing will help ensure enough space/food for everyone.
Albeit, Ontario is pretty big [citation needed], so going forward, we will change up the location to reflect where people are. We might start some local chapters if there ends up being a lot of users in Fort Severn.
Don’t pass up this opportunity to learn everything about ROS from A to Zed!
There are already 61 people who have RSVPed for the event, and all but three are planning on attending. This is great, however if you are in Ontario and not planning on attending, we encourage you to RSVP anyway, so
A. We can ensure you are in the loop for future events and
B. You can help us gather data on where people are in Ontario, to help determine where future events should be held.
This is especially relevant to all ROS devs outside of Kitchener/Waterloo. I’m looking at you Toronto/GTA folk
Seeing as ROS-ON is only one letter different from ROSCon, the group will formally change its name to ROS Meetup Ontario, until a different name is determined, at the request of OSRF.
