Meetings 2011-10-06¶

Nao Robot
- Improved CPU
  - Increased performance (e.g. video streaming)
Aldebaran
- Develops new open middleware
- Made a tool for building binary distributions
  - Will be open sourced within a few weeks
High-level overview of projects currently missing
- Catalogue can solve this (at least for CITEC projects)
- Currently in beta
- What about partners?
  - Partners can use the catalogue
  - CI servers of partners could be integrated
Experiences
- RSB mostly OK
- RST unclear
- Easy-to-use Matlab interface would be useful

Add seperate directories per user or projects in Beta
Use different name for "beta"
Communicate that changes in "beta" are allowed and welcome
Promotion requests as redmine issues?!?
Use seperate libraries / redmine projects for beta part?
Install type system in prefix
External monitoring needed and welcome
Connect type system to catalogue
How to decompose domain types in protocol buffer types?
- Can language level considerations give guidance? (e.g. sending a 3DPoint as part of another object to a generic 3DPoint component)
Consider API/ABI breaks if RST types change (what cases exist?)
Consider naming scheme for protofiles?
RPC service to retrieve IDL information from running components via libRST?
- One RPC service per process?
Decisions:
- So far, we will collect the datatypes in the RST repository
- Add installation target for proto files to RST library makefiles to have the IDL defs in $prefix
- Or, if possible add introspection support for RST such that converters can report on their used IDLs
- Use $prefix/share/RST for logger to retrieve IDL specifications

Urgently needed: Informer per Participant about participant state
Requirements (Motivation: Debugging)
- Presence / state information
- Type introspection
- Application-level logging (and runtime configuration)
