### Write a blog post announcing the release

We typically crowdsource release announcements by collaborating on a Google document, usually starting
with a copy of the previous release announcement.

Run the following commands to get the number of commits and number of unique contributors for inclusion in the blog post.

```bash
git log --pretty=oneline 10.0.0..11.0.0 datafusion datafusion-cli datafusion-examples | wc -l
git shortlog -sn 10.0.0..11.0.0 datafusion datafusion-cli datafusion-examples | wc -l
```

Once there is consensus on the contents of the post, create a PR to add a blog post to the
[arrow-site](https://github.com/apache/arrow-site) repository. Note that there is no need for a formal
Copy link

PMC vote on the blog post contents since this isn't considered to be a "release".

Here is an example blog post PR:

- https://github.com/apache/arrow-site/pull/217

Once the PR is merged, a GitHub action will publish the new blog post to https://arrow.apache.org/blog/.
