I prepared a draft which I tried to make a bit more "personal" :). I have reached out to infra - to get a bit more personal message of what they are doing for the "did you know" section (let's see). I thought a bit and looked at past ones and I agree, brevity of this message is a key, but also there is a risk that "short" messages are stripped-off any personal touch. I tried to make it not-too long but also not to "dry" either. Not sure if I succeeded.
Draft https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=217386250 - any feedback/suggestions are most welcome also if any of you have some personal story to share - feel free :). J.
