ROS Quality Assurance Working Group meeting minutes April 2018 Meeting
Time: 3 p.m. UTC

**Notes:**

**_Agenda:_**
We still working on the first initiative, Making ROS Packages quality visible. We identified a [list of Quality Metrics](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Ujwc2rjmywWpiamCGNRAdD3USNurXLqunIvgSrSbwvM/edit#gid=0) to use (display for each package). We defined most of these metrics in a google doc. Currently, the list contains over 20 metrics. We need to prioritize which metrics to implement first. During this meeting, will went through these metrics and assign an implementation priority (i.e. High, Medium and Low).
 
**_Outcome:_**
During the meeting participants voted a priority for each metric. Please refer to the [Quality Metrics](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Ujwc2rjmywWpiamCGNRAdD3USNurXLqunIvgSrSbwvM/edit#gid=0) for the vote results. The list of metrics and the voted priority listed below:

1. CI Badge
