The PX4 Developer Summit announced on May 21st, in only four-weeks gathered 198 community members for two-days on the lecture halls of historic ETH Zürich. The format of the event was single-track, with nineteen sessions by twenty-two speakers who gave a quick history of the projects, a run down through the current features and discussed future work (Roadmap), inviting attendees to contribute, each session made interactive by a very participate audience.
After the Summit, Dronecode sent a survey, with 19% of attendees responding, here’s what they have to say:
