Getting Involved
================

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 <mailto:dev-subscribe@arrow.apache.org>`_.
   Share your ideas and use cases for the project or read through the
   `Archive <http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/arrow-dev/>`_.
 * Follow our activity on `JIRA <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW>`_
 * Learn the `Format / Specification
   <https://github.com/apache/arrow/tree/master/format>`_
