Agenda: We are looking for a friendly chat with fellow AV developers and those interested. What is it you’d use ROS for (and which flavour) and what is it you think could be improved on? What do you find challenging with this field? Do you think the future of AV lies in proprietary software or should be similarly opened up like many of the related research topics are?
Everyone is welcome, we only ask to leave your competitive hats at the hotel for this meetup
When: Day 1, Saturday during the morning coffee break

Where: At The Construct booth #17
How to find us: just go to the booth n.17
Agenda: we are going to discuss about how can we have an environment for reproducing robotics results and benchmark them. Questions to answer:
Atention we will record the whole audio discussion and publish it on the ROS Developers Podcast. I will act as moderator to ensure that we deal with all the points.

Summary from the ROSCon cross-compilation Meetup:
Current issues faced by users cross compiling ROS 2:
lack of Python or third party library support in the instructions currently hosted on the ros2-for-arm organization.
lack of instructions + sysroot for Android compilation makes it hard to compile high level packages and demos
Suggestions:
Provide a single place for aggregating cross-compilation instructions
Community members can modify the content to add instructions for their platform/architecture.
Community members will also be in charge of testing / updating the instructions they provided if necessary.
Possible location: a page on the ros2 wiki with section for each platform/architecture.
Leveraging existing toolchains and infrastructure (@esteve suggested polly) could reduce maintenance effort and provide better experience for users.
contributors can elect to provide a sysroot to allow installing and linking against target libraries more easily.
I unfortunately don’t have the full list of attendees, @nuclearsandwich @wjwwood @filipe.rinaldi @pokitoz @lmayencourt feel free to add missing information or @ attending participants I didn’t tag above.
Awesome summary, I wish I could have been there. I was looking around at ROSCon but was never able to find you. I’m an engineer at Amazon and we’re also doing some work on security-related items for ROS2. I’d really like to get your input and find out what other folks are working on.
I’ve organized an ROS2 Security Online Meetup on Monday Oct 15th @ 17:00 PDT. Please feel free to join and give your input.
I started a new discussion thread about cross-compilation here:
