Dear Apache Iceberg Community, As Apache Iceberg hits new levels of awareness and adoption, I wanted to help continue to grow the community in a community enablement capacity and have put together a proposal on how this can happen that I wanted to present to the community, get feedback and move forward with implementation. I have shown it to some people in the community already for feedback and review, and look forward to contributing to the growth of the Iceberg Community.
You can find the proposal document here <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sMe1DDOYV0-XmpDyA_f3MPsgqxDZ-TyA3kLkLf7NAZw/edit?usp=sharing> My Asks: - If you like the proposal to respond with a +1 - To leave comments in the document with any suggestions and feedback - I want to encourage new local iceberg communities to create channels in the official iceberg Slack so it continues to be the center of the Iceberg Community. It would be nice to have a process outlined by which these groups can create or request the creation of a Slack channel (since that feature was recently disabled for general use). I’m glad to help implement and create these channels for groups but I would need channel creation privileges to do so. By providing resources for local community management and discovery at icebergcommunity.com, we can further grow iceberg development, adoption and community.
