Recap of the meeting from March 7th, 2017: **Attendees** * Michael 'v4hn' Grner * Robert Haschke * Isaac IY Saito * Jorge Nicho * Shaun Edwards * G.A. vd. Hoorn * Paul Hvass * Christian Dornhege * Dave Coleman **Releasing ROS Lunar and branching policy** * Keep development in kinetic-devel branch as long as possible * If we have to branch for Lunar, we will also still develop out of Kinetic * Drop support for Jade, just like the main ROS release will * Only add bug fixes for indigo-devel branch * Accept pull requests to kinetic-devel branch that allow for backward compatibility with ROS Indigo **MoveIt! 1.0 roadmap** * An exhaustive interface review of the current API is impractical * Decouple the meaning of MoveIt!'s major version number from ROS 2.0 * Stop using minor versions to indicate ROS release * Increment major versions more often to indicate API changes **ROS 2.0 and nodelets roadmap** * We desire to integrate ROS 2.0 with MoveIt!, but it is not highest priority * This effort would require funding and a dedicated full-time developer * MoveIt! would be a good poster child candidate for pushing the entire ROS community to adopt ROS 2.0 * Desired features include the DDS communication layer and switching our plugin based architecture to nodelets * We would likely rename MoveIt! to MoveIt! 2.0 * There are still many dependencies we are waiting for, such as URDF 2.0 * Needs further discussion with OSRF team **Merging Descartes back into MoveIt!** * Everyone is very excited to proceed with this effort * Best approach is likely to create a new MoveIt! capability that calls Descartes * Need to define new ROS message types **Required PR reviews enforced on Github** * Decided against enabling this feature because it does not solve a current problem and only makes merging PRs more difficult **Google Summer of Code** * MoveIt! applied to the Google Summer of Code through the OSRF parent organization, which was not accepted * We are still interested in doing some summer code sprints outside of Google * Funding sources with high potential were discussed **New Video Montage** * Our previous montage is dated from 2013 * Paul Hvass will be leading the call for videos along with ROS-Industrial Thanks to the maintainers who joined the call. --- [Visit Topic](https://discourse.ros.org/t/maintainer-meeting-recap-march-7th/1442/1) or reply to this email to respond.
