Hi Konstantin&all,

The  blog post is released, please see
https://flink.apache.org/news/2019/04/17/sod.html

And I think is better to spread the word by https://twitter.com/ApacheFlink,
but I found that only PMC can manage and publish messages.

Help spread the word here:
https://twitter.com/sunjincheng121/status/1118831783762481152

Best,
Jincheng
