## DCO
- Proposal: Approve use of standard DCO ([*

- All repos in the .repos file that is used to build a ROS 2 release
- Exception might be forks of third-party repos (e.g. \`uncrustify\`)
- Dirk to lead process:
- Do announcement on Discourse
- Explain rationale, say that well take comments now and at ROSCon
- Flip the switch(es) on the repos
- Brian to check with LF on process for retroactive application of DCO to existing code.
- Using the DCO probot ([*https://github.com/probot/dco*](https://github.com/probot/dco)) developed by Linux Foundation
- Boschs DCO is based on OSDL
- The explicit license check in important to worry about
- From Boschs point of view dont think using LFs DCO is a blocker.

## Update: status on ROS trademark
- Discussion revived with Open Robotics legal counsel
## Crystal roadmap update:
- New proposed feature list
- Share the document and make it editable for others to contribute
- Proposal:
- Make Crystal LTS
- 2 years of support, with patch releases
- Recommend for use with indoor mobile robots
- Would like companies to review the elements and sign up for line items to target for Crystal
- How should we make comments?
- Well follow up on discourse with a way to start the discussion online.
## Other topics:
- When will ROS1 be EOLd?
- Its been discussed but dont know when this will happen.
- It would be good to have a tentative plan for migration. The longer people can use ROS1 the less motivated they will be to move to ROS2.
- There will be pushback, but it will at least get the conversation going.
- What is enough coverage for making ROS2 primary?
- What is an LTS for us?
- 5 years for ROS1
- 2 years for ROS2 for now, will likely extend to 5 years in the future.
- Open Robotics role
- As we grow the contributing team the Open robotics team has been requested to be more active in working groups and design and planning instead of directly focusing on direct contributions.
- Dejan: Thats a good idea, but the whole plan seems overly aggressive.
- Next meeting?
- 6 weeks? Maybe mid october
- Meeting at ROSCon?
- **Action**: Tully and Brian will look at options.
