Thanks for the feedback everyone. I went ahead and prototype the blog page. Please take a look at https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/15013 Looking for feedback from the community!
I think it would be a great opportunity to launch the project blog and use the first post to highlight the Iceberg Summit 2026. ( https://www.icebergsummit.org/) Max, I definitely got the idea from your original devlist thread.
