Hi Kevin, +1 I had a similar idea a while back: https://lists.apache.org/thread/txhw1f27pj7444t8o8jf5qoyqk2zhjxf / "[Discuss] Iceberg Blog Posts".
For example, Swapna Marru just published this Iceberg-related post on the Flink blog: https://flink.apache.org/2025/11/11/from-stream-to-lakehouse-kafka-ingestion-with-the-flink-dynamic-iceberg-sink/ It would be great to see similar posts on the Iceberg blog. Even if we just put the release notes, I think that would already provide a lot more visibility for Iceberg. 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.
