+1 on Slack from my side. I gathered more feedback from yesterday’s Iceberg meetup—an especially significant one. Developers and users love using the Apache Polaris Slack. That said, they don’t represent the entire community, so I’d encourage more people to join the conversation and share their thoughts.
JB, your proposal sounds good! Thanks for the initiative! Let me know if you need any help.
