Two small suggestions from my side, other than that, that is an excellent roadmap!

I find this section to be a bit dismissive of community work as opposed to technical work. The community stuff is passed over quickly, and then a lot of space is given to specific technical proposals such as TASty MiMa.

For example, Scala Days is a really really big deal. It's a really big deal to the community, especially since it's been so long since the last one because of the pandemic, and it's real work for the Center, too. I would suggest not passing over it so quickly. It gives the impression that the Center considers it minor, unimportant, and routine. (I'm sure that wasn't your intention!)

I've been told that a separate blog post about Scala Days is coming, but I still think it's worth highlighting more strongly in this blog post, too.

Another example of the roadmap seeming very technical is: what about governance stuff, what's planned there?

Thank you Seth for raising those points. I’ve expanded on our non-technical goals in acd5425. What do you think?

- explicitly mention that the governance strategy resulted in the Scala Improvement Process
- also mention our involvement in local community events instead of focusing only on ScalaCon
- explicitly mention our keynote at ScalaCon, with a direct link to the video
- move Google Summer of Code to a regular goal instead of setting it as a stretch goal
- Add Scala Days co-organization as a proper goal
- Add the tooling summit as a proper goal
- Move the “streamline the way to publish the documentation of Scala libraries” to a stretch goal
- Add “finalize the training materials for Scala moderators” as a stretch goal
- Add “revise and update the Scala Center bylaws” as a stretch goal
