Hi Everyone,
As mentioned in the Groovy announcement we plan to keep the Hydro
development cycle shorter to get back in sync with Ubuntu. Below is
our tentative plan:
- Initial Fork Feb 1st
- pending cleanup of catkin-debs
- Alpha Feb 25th
- All PR2 packages catkinized
- Beta March 25th
- All packages as if it could be released
- downloadable as desktop-full deb
- goal: most packages catkinized even leaf ones
- Hydro Release April 25
This is documented at the hydro/Planning page [1].
Hydro SIG Process Kickoff
Related to this it is time to start thinking about SIGs. The process is
relatively simple and flexible. Basically each SIG gets a wiki page and
mailing list. If you're interested in organizing one, please create one
following the SIG process [2] and list it on the planning page [1] and
announce it on ros-users. There are already a couple started, for those of
you already starting the process please announce your intentions on
ROS-users to let the community know about your efforts.
