Getting involved

Right now the primary audience for Apache Arrow are the designers and developers of data systems; most people will use Apache Arrow indirectly through systems that use it for internal data handling and interoperating with other Arrow-enabled systems.

Even if you do not plan to contribute to Apache Arrow itself or Arrow integrations in other projects, we'd be happy to have you involved:

• Join the mailing list: send an email to [email protected]. Share your ideas and use cases for the project.
• Follow our activity on JIRA
• Learn the format
• Contribute code to one of the reference implementations
