Right now the primary audience for Apache Arrow are the 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 dev-subscribe@arrow.apache.org. Share your ideas and use cases for the project or read through the Archive.
- Follow our activity on JIRA
- Learn the Format / Specification
- Chat with us on Slack
