Ryan, you should be able to create a semi-permanent invite link. in Trino, we are almost successful with a static link (see https://trino.io/slack.html) admittedly they still break on some occasions (not very often). I would imagine a custom sign up form could have some issues from time to time as well, though.
Having said that, i haven't seen an invite link for apache-iceberg slack workspace yet, unless "https://join.slack.com/t/apache-iceberg/"; was supposed to be it. For Trino slack the link is much longer, and looks like " https://join.slack.com/t/trinodb/shared_invite/zt-sbw8lqer-DL3zksjpm6fyIsSQz74MBA ".
