7. The iceoryx website goes live, Hoinkis, 5 min

Minutes

2. Sending dynamic data types

• It is technically not possible to send STL containers via iceoryx. Also not with custom allocators as there are internal pointers that are only valid within one process
• Two possibilities: Either use static containers like cxx::vector and cxx::string from iceoryx:utils, or have some generated code or reflection information to serialize the dynamic data structures into a shared memory chunk

3. Tracking activities in Project Boards

• The existing sprint board can be used by all committers, different companies can use different labels like Globex or Stoepsel to have an internal view

4. Bug or Feature (duration)

• This could somehow be solved with the introduction of a timepoint abstraction
• Martin to create an issue for this
• Maybe having a nice cup of Rust https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/time/index.html

6. How to continue with Vector PR

• Proceed with a design document and smaller PRs
