## Source excerpt

What a great year for the Presto community! We started with the year with the launch of the Presto Software Foundation, with the long term goal of ensuring the project remains collaborative, open and independent from any corporate interest, for years to come. Since then, the community around Presto has grown and consolidated. We've seen contributions from more than 120 people across over 20 companies. Every week, 280 users and developers interact in the project's Slack channel. We'd like to take the opportunity to thank everyone that contributed the project in one way or another. Presto wouldn't be what it is without your help. With the collaboration of companies such as Starburst, Qubole, Varada, Twitter, ARM Treasure Data, Wix, Red Hat, and the Big Things community, we ran several Presto summits across the world: Tel Aviv, Israel, April 2019 San Francisco, USA, June 2019 Tokyo, Japan, July 2019 Bangalore, India, September, 2019 New York, USA, December 2019 All these events were a huge success and brought thousands of Presto users, contributors and other community members together to share their knowledge and experiences. The project has been more active than ever. We completed 28 releases comprised of more than 2850 commits in over 1500 pull requests. Of course, that alone is not a good measure of progress, so let's take a closer look at everything that went in. And there is a lot to look at!
