Thanks for organizing this, Danica! +1 to the meetup.
I'd like to do a talk about "Exposing Apache Polaris to the S3-Compatible World" if the agenda is not full yet. Adding guidelines to the Polaris site sounds good to me. We can certainly start with the same text as in the Iceberg PR, then we'll see if any suggestions / adjustments come up during the review. Cheers, Dmitri.
