ROSCon 2019: Call for Workshop Proposals

Thanks for organizing this @DLu! I’ll go ahead and share my wish list below:

Acutronic Robotics and PickNik are the main forces so far behind the moveit2 port. From Acutronic Robotics’ side, we’d be happy to provide an interactive tutorial here demonstrating the capabilities of MoveIt 2 with MARA during ROSCon 2019. Beyond moveit2, there’re probably others doing interesting work which should be covered as part of this workshop. I’ve just announced the creation of the Manipulation WG so I’d go ahead and suggest that the tutorial should be called something like “ROS 2 manipulation workshop” which should group both the moveit2 effort but also, hopefully, other related projects.

Let’s see the reaction and we’ll then coordinate to make a proposal :slight_smile:
