ROS Bossing ROS 2 Jazzy Jalisco
summary
Jazzy Jalisco ships as a 1539‑package ROS 2 release on World Turtle Day (23 May) and targets three architectures and six operating systems with LTS support through 2029. Release orchestration uses a YAML rosdistro as source of truth, the build farm plus CI to produce test and production repos, and bloom to generate release branches and PRs. A “tutorial party” runs ~600 platform/arch test issues, dozens of community testers uncover day‑one bugs, and packages appear on release day after automated builds and manual sync.
