|
|
+
|
|
|
+### Introductions
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+*Presenters:* Any/all
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Amazon leads:
|
|
|
+ * Documentation: Stephen Tramer (lead), Doug Erickson (manager), Chanelle Mosquera (Atom renderer), Mike Cronin (animation, art, contribution guides, and Gems), William Hayward (scripting, content architecture)
|
|
|
+ * Community: Melissa Austin (manager/lead), Alex Damarjian (A/V content, tutorials), Phillip Wang (community manager)
|
|
|

|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Partner participants:
|
|
|
+ * Apocalypse: Denis Dyack (tutorials and samples support, O3DE user)
|
|
|
+ * Kythera: Robin, Matthew Jack (AI Gem)
|
|
|
+ * RedHat: Erik Jacobs (copy support, OSS expert)
|
|
|
+ * Backtrace: Jason D (debugging Gem(s))
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+### Site and docs state
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+*Presenter*: Stephen Tramer
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Visual runthrough of the site as it exists at the moment, and the general content architecture. The most important thing for contributors onboarding is: [Follow the contributor guide](https://o3deorg.netlify.app/docs/contributing/). It contains all kinds of information regarding site structure, style, terminology, Hugo shortcodes, PR submission, and review.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Suggestion: Rather than using 'Welcome', we may want to consider the more standard 'Get Started' or some other similar nomenclature. The User Guide landing page should
|
|
|
+ link directly to Welcome, rather than leading into the "available features". Possible onboarding funnel issue.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ *Recommended action:* Further discussion or a pull request demonstrating a good fix for the problem.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+### Content priorities and issue backlog
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+*Presenter*: Stephen Tramer
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Runthrough of the current state of GitHub Issues for the o3de.org repo. Overview of `good-first-issue` and how the tagging system is currently used. As of this meeting there
|
|
|
+is no automation or templates. They're on an internal roadmap: Templates should be in place by 5/31 and automation before launch date.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Tutorials: Apocalypse and Denis to discuss the following with Alex Damarjian:
|
|
|
+ * Default or template assets pre-approved for use with tutorials. Based on information from Royal O'Brien, we may be able to use some Kitbash3D resources for this
|
|
|
+ exact purpose. Make sure to loop Royal in.
|
|
|
+ * Video tutorial content
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* AI Gem documentation: Representatives from Kythera to take on AI Gem documentation tasks. Still needed to discuss (w/existing site architects & AMZN business):
|
|
|
+ * How/if Kythera licensing for the Gem will affect its representation in open source documentation
|
|
|
+ * How the Gem will be distributed (presumably core O3DE?)
|
|
|
+ * Whether AI should be its own section of the guide, or remain exclusively part of the Gem Reference
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Backtrace Gem and debugging: Representatives from Backtrace will take on some of these documentation tasks. Still need to discuss:
|
|
|
+ * Exactly which topics will be owned by Backtrace before launch, and which cover "general debugging" vs. Backtrace-specific features.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+### SIG business
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Charter: Overview of the [Docs and Community SIG charter](https://github.com/o3de/foundation/blob/master/sigs/sig-docs/SIG%20Docs%20Charter.md) roles and responsibilities.
|
|
|
+ * **Issue:** Raised the fact that it hasn't been clear that this is a documentation "and community" SIG. The SIG is being (incrementally) renamed to reflect this, as
|
|
|
+ `sig-docs-community` and referred to as the "D&C SIG" rather than "Docs SIG".
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Cute animal mascot: Suggested that as part of the default asset set we have some sort of community collaboration to create a character/mascot suitable
|
|
|
+ for them.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ **Followup:** A brief internal Amazon discussion essentially said: "Good idea, but not right now." Any further discussions postponed until after launch to avoid
|
|
|
+ the perception that we're "wasting time on unimportant things" (a valid criticism people would have, even if cute animal design is unrelated to engineering tasks.)
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Code of conduct: Our official code of conduct isn't established yet. For now we are using the CNCF (Cloud Native Computing Foundation) code of conduct. Amazon is working
|
|
|
+ internally with a number of DEI stakeholders, including individuals in AGS and GameTech, to help identify areas of concern unique to this project and how we can address
|
|
|
+ them effectively.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Terminology and style: We recommend interested partners take a look at these pages and submit issues, pull requests, or start discussions on the SIG mailing list or in Discord.
|
|
|
+ * [Terminology](https://o3deorg.netlify.app/docs/contributing/to-docs/terminology/)
|
|
|
+ * [Style Guide](https://o3deorg.netlify.app/docs/contributing/to-docs/style-guide/)
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ **Of special interest to our copyeditor friends:** We do not currently follow or advise any particular manual of style. For contributors and partners who are more invested
|
|
|
+ in making sure the copy passes of content go smoothly, please suggest _as much as you need to_ for the style guide.
|
|
|
+
