ROS OE Community Meeting #56 on automated CI and container support
Join May 25th discussion: automated CI, desktop support, and container regression testing.
The ROS OpenEmbedded (ROS OE) community will convene for Meeting #56 on Monday, May 25, 2026 at 3pm UTC, featuring an open agenda focused on critical infrastructure improvements. Key discussion items include automated CI testing to streamline integration workflows, enhanced desktop support for developer environments, and container support to simplify deployment on embedded systems. Additionally, the group will explore packagegroups for regression testing, aiming to maintain stability across ROS distributions.
Accessible via Google Meet (link provided), the meeting is open to all contributors and users of meta-ros layers. Previous meeting minutes are hosted on GitHub, and real-time discussions occur on the Open Robotics Zulip channel (#OpenEmbedded). This session is particularly relevant for robotics engineers working with Yocto/OpenEmbedded builds who want to shape the future of ROS on embedded Linux, from CI pipelines to containerized deployments.
- Automated CI testing for ROS OE builds to improve reliability and speed
- Container and desktop support enhancements for easier developer workflows
- Packagegroups for regression testing to maintain cross-distribution stability
Why It Matters
Community-driven improvements to ROS embedded tooling reduce fragmentation and speed up robotics development cycles.
