[ros-users] [Discourse.ros.org] [Next Generation ROS] Industrial_robot_client porting to ROS2

[gavanderhoorn]

Hi @prasenjitdan

within ROS-Industrial we're very happy that community members are stepping up and want to contribute to the porting effort of packages from our GitHub organisations.

However, we're currently setting up our roadmap and setting development goals for this inside our respective organisations and consortia.

Porting individual packages -- such as `industrial_msgs`, `industrial_robot_client` and `industrial_utils` -- is nice, but our preference currently goes towards a more coordinated and cohesive effort. An ad hoc transition of just parts of our infrastructure does not really fit with our style of development.

Finally: a straight port of many of these packages may not even be that interesting and a transition to ROS 2 would seem to present a good opportunity to revisit some design decisions made in the past.

Pull requests are of course always welcome, but it would be in all our best interests to try and avoid duplication of effort. If and when we start porting we'll make sure to reach out to you to see whether we can coordinate something.

Edit: could I also please ask you to not direct-email individual maintainers? If you'd like to start a discussion please post something in #ros-industrial and we can interact there.
