Hi guys, i am just releasing SimpleDDS.
In order to connect into ROS world i had to implement a DDS support
(Publisher/subscriber).
For achieving this i did MetaDDS, a library that defines basic objects,
announcements, event related mechanisms and data encoding formats, and
on top of it SimpleDDS, which is ROS based.
SimpleDDS Has a package of examples highly commented for learning how to
use it.
The comments are also in the Github wiki, as wiki pages:

I haven't heard of DDS, but this seems really significant!
From wikipedia... "DDS addresses the needs of applications like
financial trading, air-traffic control, smart grid management, and other
Big data applications. The standard is used in applications such as
smartphone operating systems,[1] transportation systems and vehicles,[2]
software-defined radio, and by healthcare providers."
This could be a nice lead into these application domains.
If this got to a sufficient level of features, maybe Santiago could even
be sponsored to attend an interoperability meeting? "DDS vendors
participated in _Interoperability demonstrations_ at the Object
Management Group (OMG) Spring Technical Meeting.[7] During the demo,
each vendor publishes and subscribes to each other's topics using a test
suite called the Shapes Demo." Such might be a good place to network and
demo general use of Pharo.
