+The Apache Arrow project was officially established and had its
+[first git
commit](https://github.com/apache/arrow/commit/d5aa7c46692474376a3c31704cfc4783c86338f2)
+on February 5th 2016, and we are therefore enthusiastic to announce its 10-year
+anniversary!
+
+Looking back over these 10 years, the project has developed in many unforeseen
+ways and we believe to have delivered on our objective of providing agnostic,
+efficient, durable standards for the exchange of columnar data.
+
+## How it started
+
+From the start, Arrow has been a joint effort between practitioners of various
+horizons looking to build common grounds to efficiently exchange columnar data
+between different libraries and systems.
+In [this blog
post](https://sympathetic.ink/2024/02/06/Chapter-2-From-Parquet-to-Arrow.html),
+Julien Le Dem recalls how some of the founders of the [Apache
Parquet](https://parquet.apache.org/)
+project participated in the early days of the Arrow design phase. The idea of
Arrow
+as an in-memory format was meant to address the over half of the
interoperability
+problem, the natural complement to Parquet as a persistent storage format.
