blog/incubation-announcement.md (4)

1-10: Verify frontmatter metadata and image URL.

The frontmatter is well-structured. However, line 8 uses an absolute URL (https://openfga.dev/img/og-rich-embed.png) whereas other image references in authors.yml use relative paths. Confirm this is intentional (e.g., for SEO or external sharing) or align with the relative path convention used elsewhere in the codebase.

Additionally, the authors field references both aaguiar and jakub, which is consistent with the new author entry added to blog/authors.yml.

---

32-38: Verify factual accuracy of statistics and adopter information.

The "Journey So Far" section cites specific metrics (600+ contributors, 4,500 stars, 5 KubeCon editions, 2+ years of monthly meetings) and lists named production adopters (Canonical, Docker, Grafana Labs, Read AI, Agicap, Headspace, Zuplo, Sourcegraph). Ensure these statistics are current and correct, and that adopters have consented to be publicly named.

---

44-58: Acknowledgments are well-structured and inclusive.

The "Thank You" section provides specific recognition to community members, maintainers, and CNCF stakeholders with their contributions clearly noted. This demonstrates strong community engagement and is a best practice for public projects.

---

70-75: Calls-to-action are clear and well-organized.

The "Get Involved" section provides multiple entry points (GitHub, Slack, documentation, roadmap) with direct links, making it easy for readers to engage next.

blog/authors.yml (2)

10-13: Author entry is well-formed and consistent.

The new jakub author entry is properly formatted with all expected fields (name, url, image_url), follows the established YAML structure used by other authors, and maintains alphabetical ordering. The GitHub URL aligns with the PR branch author (curfew-marathon), and the relative image path is consistent with existing conventions.

---

10-13: Verify the author image file is present.

The entry references /img/blog/authors/jakub.jpg. Per the PR description, this image file is being added as part of this PR. Ensure the image is in the correct directory and meets any size/format requirements for the blog platform.
