## Description: The mission of Apache Arrow is the creation and maintenance of software related to columnar in-memory processing and data interchange. The project has some level of support for 11 different programming languages.
## Issues: - We are continuing to work with INFRA on issues related to self-hosted CI machines integrated with our GitHub-based pull request workflows. There are two avenues we are exploring (and we may well use both of them), GitHub Actions Self-hosted and Buildkite. Per INFRA-19217 Buildkite has just been approved for the @apache GitHub organization and we will soon validate that we can successfully use this with the free Arrow organization that Buildkite has provided us. CI/CD is likely to require an ongoing significant investment of time, and we are doing the best we can try avoid overburdening ASF Infra with requests. ## Membership Data: Apache Arrow was founded 2016-01-19 (4 years ago) There are currently 50 committers and 30 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 5:3. Community changes, past quarter: - Francois Saint-Jacques was added to the PMC on 2020-03-04 - Neal Richardson was added to the PMC on 2020-03-04 - No new committers. Last addition was Joris Van den Bossche on 2019-12-06. ## Project Activity: - 0.16.0 was released at the end of January. We are close to releasing 0.17.0, with a 1.0.0 release hopefully sometime in 2020. - We just adopted a "C Data Interface" for the project which will open many new opportunities for integrations with third party projects. ## Community Health: The project and contributor base continues to grow in size and scope. We now have over 400 unique contributors since the creation of the project.
