The blog is currently hosted on Medium at blog.envoyproxy.io. Might it make sense to repatriate the blog entries into the website? A website-repo local blog usually makes for a much more active blog: it becomes easier for community members to submit posts via PRs.

Thoughts @phlax @mattklein123?

seems like a good idea to me - a quick search suggests it shouldnt be too hard to migrate medium -> jekyll

i guess the main advantage of using medium is the connection/discovery that comes with it

No objection from me if someone is willing to do the work!

@phlax - great!

Was you plan to migrate the posts and "close" the Medium site?

FYI, OpenTelemetry did a similar switch from Medium to a webiste-local blog. For OTel we chose to make "placeholder" entries for all posts that were already on Medium, rather than copy them over. For example see:

You might then want a short post on Medium to let folks know that the blog has officially moved.

i was wondering about this - whether we can redirect existing articles to new - otherwise yep lets add a placeholder etc

relatedly - i checked and the medium pages seem to use the envoyproxy domain for links so im hoping there is not SEs with any medium URLs that we need to worry about - i think its mostly a case of keeping the discoverability on medium - which then leads to the question of whether to publish placeholders for new articles

quite busy atm, but ill keep thinking on it and take a look further once the current round of Envoy releases is out of the way
