SAVE THE DATE: Gazebo Ionic Tutorial Party

azeey · 2024-08-13T21:48:00.433Z

Hi ROS community,

Gazebo’s 9th collection, Ionic, is planned for release on September 30, 2024. To make sure we have the best release possible the team goes over all the tutorials using pre-releases to check that everything is working as it should and make final tweaks. It is incredibly important that these tutorials function smoothly as they are where our new users first meet Gazebo and we want them to have a good experience! As we’ve done in past releases, and as we recently did with the ROS 2 Jazzy release, we’d like to invite the community to join the party! If you are a Gazebo classic user, or new to Gazebo entirely, this should be a great opportunity to get your feet wet with the new Gazebo. The tutorial party is also a great way for prospective interns and GSoC students to get familiar with Gazebo, meet the community, and close their first Github issue.

We’ll be partying from August 29, 2024 until September 13, 2024. We’ll kick the party off on August 29, 2024 with a community meeting to walk everyone through the tutorial party process. To sweeten the pot, we will once again be sending out Ionic t-shirts to the top ten tutorial party animals (those who finish reviewing the most tutorials). Every single one of the tutorial reviewers will be included in the Ionic release notes.

Make sure to join the OSRF events calendar to be included in both events!

What is the best way to prepare for this? I’m still using ROS1 Noetic and gazebo on 20.04 system. I’ve been looking to try out ROS2 soon, but in the middle of projects using 1.

You really don’t need to do much to participate other than a host machine or VM with one of the supported operating systems.

This is just a save the date announcement, we’ll post full details once the T&T party kicks off.
