Project Governance

Since 2025, the ros-controls project has been governed by the Open Source Robotics Alliance (OSRA). The information below is meant to give a quick overview of the project governance, but for full information please see the OSRA’s website.

The ros-controls Project Management Committee is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the ros-controls project. The ros-controls PMC consists of the Project Leader, the ros-controls PMC Members (who have full voting rights), a Supporting Individual Representative, and the Chair of the TGC. The project also has Committers, who help manage one or more repositories but are not a part of the PMC. The Project Leader, all PMC Members, and all Committers are chosen on a meritocratic basis.

The day-to-day operations of the ros-controls PMC include managing the members and committers, managing the repositories that make up ros-controls, reviewing and merging code from the ros-controls community, maintaining the repositories, and making technical decisions that decide the direction of the project.

For more details about the ros-controls PMC, please see the Charter for the ros-controls Project.
