+## Evolution of SCS activities
+
+Previously, we had a project web site that covered many
+areas of work that was done in the SCS project until it was successfully completed
+at the end of 2024. It covered the standardization work as well as the development
+of the reference implementation and also had a vast collection of links and technical
+content, a lot of which was related to the reference implementation. For newcomers,
+it was somewhat hard to distill the various aspects and goals of SCS though.
+
+With the end of the funded project, we split the activities into different organizations
+with distinct goals:
+
+1. The [Forum SCS Standards](https://sovereigncloudstack.org/en/about-scs/network/) is
+   responsible for governing the standardization process. While it pulls significant input
+   from the various software projects that belong to the SCS ecosystem, it is neutral towards
+   them beyond the preference for standards compliance. This reflects that there can and
+   ideally should be several implementations for a standard.
+   The [new website](https://sovereigncloudstack.org/) serves as an overall entrance point to
+   Sovereign Cloud Stack with a focus on the standardization and certification.
+2. The SCS community consists of individuals and organizations that develop, support,
+   test, use, or otherwise contribute to the software and standards that implement and
+   codify SCS. The community elects a [project board](https://docs.scs.community/standards/scs-0005-v2-project-governance)
+   that organizes and motivates contributions. The work of the community is mainly visible
+   on the [Documentation web site](https://docs.scs.community) and the
+   [github site](https://github.com/SovereignCloudStack/).
+
+## Blog articles
+
+Blog articles with technical content relating to a specific implementation (or a set
+of implementations) are not a great fit for Forum's web site.
+The good news is that the SCS project's rich
+[Documentation site](https://docs.scs.community/) is architected in a way that
+it assembles documentation from various places. Unlike the Forum, it does not need
+to prioritize neutrality as top priority, but benefits and prefers those projects
+that contribute useful content to it.
+
+We have decided to use docusaurus' blog feature to publish blog articles
+[here](https://docs.scs.community/blog/). We appreciate contributions.
+
+## Old blog content
+
+The blog content from the old web site has been migrated over into the
+[archive on the new site](https://sovereigncloudstack.org/en/community_blog/). You
+can also find the other types of community news [there](https://sovereigncloudstack.org/en/community-news/).
+
+Some news that might fit the Blog category have also been published in the
+[main news section](https://sovereigncloudstack.org/en/insights/news/) on the new web site.
