Thanks, Russell. That's a good idea. I've started a vote at https://lists.apache.org/thread/t6rz2noos9sxhgbvyxv9hq7fp5pp3rp1
Vaquar, the review process should be similar to reviewing the codebase, similar to what Max mentioned above. Happy to continue to refine the process. > Obviously, the posts should reflect the Iceberg community, i.e. revolve about Iceberg internals, using Iceberg, and not be affiliated with companies. Basically, the same rules apply to blog posts as to the rest of the code base.
