Episode 48: Inside the PX4 open source community with Ramon Roche of Dronecode

This week on the InterDrone Podcast we sat down with Ramon Roche, Program Manager at Dronecode, a nonprofit hosted under the Linux Foundation, dedicated to fostering open-source components and their communities. Ramon and his team also just finished hosting the PX4 Developer Summit; PX4 is an open-source flight control software for drones and other unmanned vehicles. We spoke to Ramon about the PX4 Developer Summit, the importance of open source technologies in emerging industries like UAS, what’s next for Dronecode, where he sees the drone industry going, the new Skydio X2, and much more.
