+## Introduction
+
+We are very proud to announce [DataFusion 45.0.0]. This blog highlights some
of the
+many major improvements since we released [DataFusion 40.0.0] and a preview of
+what the community is thinking about in the next 6 months. It has been an
exciting
+period of development for DataFusion!
+

+[DataFusion 45.0.0]: https://crates.io/crates/datafusion/45.0.0
+
+[Apache DataFusion] is an extensible query engine, written in [Rust], that
+uses [Apache Arrow] as its in-memory format. DataFusion is used by developers
to
+create new, fast data centric systems such as databases, dataframe libraries,
+machine learning and streaming applications. While [DataFusion’s primary design
+goal] is to accelerate the creation of other data centric systems, it has a
+reasonable experience directly out of the box as a [dataframe library],
+[python library] and [command line SQL tool].

+[DataFusion’s primary design goal]:
https://datafusion.apache.org/user-guide/introduction.html#project-goals
+[dataframe library]: https://datafusion.apache.org/user-guide/dataframe.html
+[python library]: https://datafusion.apache.org/python/
+[command line SQL tool]: https://datafusion.apache.org/user-guide/cli/
+
+DataFusion's core thesis is that as a community, together we can build much
more
+advanced technology than any of us as individuals or companies could do alone.
+Without DataFusion, highly performant vectorized query engines would remain
+the domain of a few large companies and world-class research institutions.
+With DataFusion, we can all build on top of a shared foundation, and focus on
+what makes our projects unique.
+
+
+## Community Growth 📈
+
+In the last 6 months, between `40.0.0` and `45.0.0`, our community continues to
+grow in new and exciting ways.
+
+1. We added several PMC members and new committers: [@jayzhan211] and
[@jonahgao] joined the PMC,
+ [@2010YOUY01], [@rachelint], [@findpi], [@iffyio], [@goldmedal],
[@Weijun-H], [@Michael-J-Ward] and [@korowa]
+ joined as committers. See the [mailing list] for more details.
+2. In the [core DataFusion repo] alone we reviewed and accepted almost 1600
PRs from 206 different
+ committers, created over 1100 issues and closed 751 of them 🚀. All changes
are listed in the detailed
+ [changelogs].
+3. DataFusion focused meetups happened in multiple cities around the world:
[Hangzhou], [Belgrade], [New York],
+ [Seattle], [Chicago], [Boston] and [Amsterdam] as well as a Rust NYC meetup
in NYC focussed on DataFusion.
