No matter your level of experience with ROS, ROSCon is the place to network and learn from the community. </p> <p> <a class="p-button" href="https://roscon.ros.org/2020/"><span>Learn more about ROSCon2020</span></a> </p> </div> <div class="col-5 u-vertically-align u-hide--medium u-hide--small u-align--center"> <img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/canonical/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto,fl_sanitize,w_187,h_250/https://assets.ubuntu.com/v1/1ea9d453-ROSCon2020.svg" srcset="https://res.cloudinary.com/canonical/image/fetch/c_limit,f_auto,q_auto,fl_sanitize,w_374,h_500/https://assets.ubuntu.com/v1/1ea9d453-ROSCon2020.svg 2x" alt="" width="187" height="250" loading="lazy" /> </div> </div> </section> <section class="p-strip"> <div class="row u-equal-height"> <div class="col-7"> <h2>The ROS 2 technical steering committee</h2> <p> Ubuntu is playing a significant role in the future of ROS.

To aid in this, Canonical is also the Chair of the ROS 2 Security working group. Just as we ensure Ubuntu's security and reliability for users, we are instilling the same ideals into ROS 2. </p> <p> <a class="p-button--positive" href="https://ubuntu.com/blog/topics/robotics">Learn more</a> </p> <p> <a href="https://docs.ros.org/en/rolling/The-ROS2-Project/Governance.html">More info about the TSC</a> </p> </div> <div class="col-5 u-vertically-center u-hide--medium u-hide--small u-align--center"> <img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/canonical/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto,fl_sanitize,w_150,h_150/https://assets.ubuntu.com/v1/60d9b81e-picto-canonical.svg" srcset="https://res.cloudinary.com/canonical/image/fetch/c_limit,f_auto,q_auto,fl_sanitize,w_300,h_300/https://assets.ubuntu.com/v1/60d9b81e-picto-canonical.svg 2x" alt="" width="150" height="150" loading="lazy" /> </div> </div> </section> <section class="p-strip"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-8"> <h2>What the community can do for the enterprise</h2> <h3>Connect with the largest pool of talent</h3> <p> Developers love Ubuntu.
