There should be an OS X SIG. 2. Someone with a vested OS X interested should sit in on the 'target platforms' SIG to help guide any choices away from having averse OS X affects. It is important to note, though, that an SIG should not say "OS X Lion is now an official platform because we say so." An SIG could say "We, the undersigned members, are committed to supporting OS X Lion as an official platform." NOTE: it takes quite a few people and build servers to make this true just for Ubuntu, but an SIG could definitely take steps towards making this more feasible. - Ken >  --M > > -- > Julian "Mac" Mason      mac@cs.duke.edu      www.cs.duke.edu/~mac > _______________________________________________ > ros-users mailing list > ros-users@code.ros.org > https://code.ros.org/mailman/listinfo/ros-users >
