Ramon Roche
Ramón is the General Manager of the Dronecode Foundation, part of the Linux Foundation, where he leads the open source communities building the world’s most adopted drone and robotics software stack. He works with more than ten thousand developers and companies who build on PX4, Pixhawk, QGroundControl, and the growing ecosystem around them.
Over the past year he has expanded Dronecode’s reach across robotics and space, co leading the Space Grade Linux initiative under ELISA, collaborating with NASA groups, and growing ties with the ROS community through workshops, meetups, and a major presence at ROSCon. He also led the PX4 Developer Summit 2025 in Atlanta and continues to drive new events, hackathons, and university programs that bring developers together around open standards.
Ramón has spent more than a decade in open source as both a contributor and a community builder. His earlier work includes DroneKit and the “smart modes” that powered the 3DR Solo, and in 2021 he received the AirWards Industry Impactor award for long standing impact in the drone industry.
He works remotely from Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico, where he lives with his family and still finds time for gaming and Sci Fi.
