Unique contributors grew by 2% this quarter to 50. Contributions increased to more than 500 PRs and more than 400 PRs were addressed. The community is discussing how to scale and coordinate with a published roadmap and github projects to link the roadmap to individual issues. The community is also forming a new group of contributors around Python. This group has held sync meetings and is planning to make the python API more pythonic and to get to an initial python release. -- Ryan Blue Tabular
