Thanks Fokko! I just merged the PR and kicked off the website deployment. I see the new link on https://iceberg.apache.org/ :) The new invite link also allow signing up with any email domain.
Looks like there are some restrictions on the new invite link. The Slack admin UI shows "Never expires" as "Dec 4, 2030". And there might be a 400 people limit per invite link. We should consider what Denny mentioned if this becomes an issue in the future.
