The Cloud Robotics Hub site is now live! The site is here: https://cloudroboticshub.github.io/

The site has these pages:
- Blog, where the group links talks from guest speakers
- Meetings, with a list of past meetings, upcoming meeting announcements, and links to group information
- Resources, where the group keeps a curated list of Cloud Robotics resources
- State of Cloud Robotics, where the group has published the survey results from the State of Cloud Robotics Survey

Take a look and let us know any feedback you have!

In addition, our next meeting will be at September 09 1700-1800 UTC, where we will discuss robotics news and any progress that group members have made towards improving cloud robotics for the whole community.

Last meeting, we agreed final tasks before the launch of the Cloud Robotics Hub website that the group is collaborating to build. The recording is here.

We are fortunate that two guest speakers have agreed to give talks in future meetings, which we will announce in the lead-up to each meeting. We are still looking for more guest speakers - if you are willing and able to give a talk on cloud robotics in future meetings, we would be happy to host you. Please reply here, message me directly, or sign up using the Guest Speaker Signup Sheet. We will record your talk and host it on YouTube as well!

The meeting link is here, and you can sign up to our calendar for meeting notifications.

Hopefully we will see you there!

Thanks for attending, the folks who joined! I wanted to summarise some of the discussion from the meeting here.

We had a few action items:
  • Phil: provide summaries for resources on the resources page.
  • Christian: convert resources to Markdown and add BibText resources.
  • Michael: link ROS Discourse and Google Group on Resources to accept suggestions.
In addition, I wanted to collect a few suggestions together for the Hub:
  • add informal blog posts discussing 3rd party resources
  • add resources table for at-a-glance summary of recommended technologies, links to relevant resources section, and columns:
    • Category
    • Easy to get started option
    • Open source option
    • Paid tools option
  • add hashtags to resources to make page more searchable
  • cross-post Kat's newsletter on upcoming conferences as a useful resources
  • summarise conferences in blog posts with links to good talks etc
  • consider organising birds-of-a-feather meetings at conferences (robotics OR cloud)
    • request summaries from folks we know even if they don't actively join meetings
If anyone has any additional suggestions, please do reply here. Also, if you have any recommendations for the resources page, we would be happy to review them.
