Thanks Ryan, this looks great. Thanks for including the paragraph about meetups in the community health section.
A few things that might be good to include (in no particular order): - Iceberg Summit 2026 - Great progress on the scan planning implementation, file format api, v4 adaptive metadata tree - cpp has a new website, https://cpp.iceberg.apache.org/ Feel free to add as you see fit.
