New blog post for everyone who wants to get started with contributing to #OpenTelemetry:

🚀 Vești bune pentru comunitatea din România! Documentația OpenTelemetry are acum o pagină de prezentare disponibilă în limba română 🇷🇴 Construim acest proiect împreună și ne-ar bucura să avem alături mai mulți contribuitori vorbitori de română.

Metrics are the quantitative backbone of observability—the numbers that tell us how our systems are performing. This is the third post in our OpenTelemetry naming series, this time we tackle the art of naming the measurements that matter.

☀️ New week, fresh start! Before diving into emails and meetings, take 5 minutes to shape the future of the OTel Collector. Your feedback = better tools for all of us.

🚨 Reminder: The OTel Collector follow-up survey is still open! If you haven’t shared your thoughts yet, please take a few minutes to do that. Your feedback is important.

You know that one system? The one running in a corner, doing a critical job? It’s reliable, but it’s also a black box. No one touches it in case it breaks.🫣 But what if there's a low-risk way to see inside? Our latest blog post shows how to instrument legacy apps to gain visibility. buff.ly/lviDk7m

📢 The OTel Collector follow-up survey will be closing soon. Please take a few minutes to share your thoughts if you haven’t already. Your input really helps us improve 🙌 Survey link:

Naming is hard, but it doesn't have to be! #OpenTelemetry Semantic Conventions are designed to standardize naming across your telemetry. Next up in the naming series, today's blog post guides you through how to name your #OTel span attributes. Read, learn, do! buff.ly/7cuNoYJ

Our latest blog post shows how the End User SIG created a low-effort, data-driven way for the community to signal what matters most. So the next time you’re browsing issues, don’t read and leave. If an issue resonates, give the description a 👍. That’s it. Like it. That’s the signal. buff.ly/qczEqCH

Our latest blog post walks you through how to use basic grammar to name your custom spans. Follow this best practice to create clear, consistent names with low cardinality. Your future self thanks you! #OpenTelemetry #OTel opentelemetry.io/blog/2025/ho...

⏳ Haven’t shared your experience with the OpenTelemetry Collector yet? There’s still time! Even if you responded to the first survey, we’d love your updated perspective. 📝 Take 5 minutes and tell us what’s up → buff.ly/Ghoh5H9 #OpenTelemetry #otel #otelcollector #observability
