Hi all, As we have not yet received a resolution from Slack Support regarding the suspended apache-fluss workspace, and I don't when they will reply and I'm also not sure whether our worksapce can be restored or not. I think we may need to consider creating a new Slack workspace to ensure uninterrupted community communication. Note that the new worksapce can't preserve the previous historical data from the old workspace.
Please share your thoughts or concerns on this approach. If there is general consensus, we will proceed with setting up the new workspace promptly.
