What we did last month

1. There are 3 SIGs left to create the roadmap according to the RFC.
2. Started discussion about what the repositories included in the process. This started due to an O3DE-extras discussion.
3. Started a discussion to increase community awareness of the roadmap by sharing those in the docs and main websites: Add a roadmap page in the o3de.org/docs sig-docs-community#102. Collaborating with SIG-docs-community

I wanted to raise awareness that SIG-Content plans to

1. enable the canonical o3de remote repository in an empty state (no content) for the upcoming release, baring any unforeseen legal, security or technical issues that arise.
2. once the official approval process has been finalized, approved content will become available via the canonical o3de remote repository and in the Project Manager (o3de.exe)

SIG Content roadmap: Roadmap SIG/Content items:

• Asset Browser Improvements sig-content#110

[Kadino]

SIG-Testing roadmap Roadmap SIG/Testing currently has three prominent items:

• Roadmap: In-Game Test Automation sig-testing#63
• Roadmap: Public Pipeline Metrics sig-testing#62
  • Roadmap: Intermittent Failure Notifications sig-testing#64 (dependent on metrics)

Feedback would be appreciated on the open RFC for o3de/sig-testing#66
