+As you may have read in a previous blog post [^1], the Apache Arrow project
+recently turned 10 years old. We are grateful to everyone who helped us
+achieve this milestone, and we wanted to celebrate the community's
+accomplishments, by publishing our community highlights from 2025.
+
+We were inspired by the research by Dr Cat Hicks et al [^2], who found
+that concrete evidence of progress and accomplishments is instrumental
+to motivation and collaboration in developer teams. We think the same
+should hold for open source.
