@raulcd do I remember correctly that you have the group photos? Would you share one with me so I can add it here?

oops sorry, I've just seen this message. I don't have any group photo for the event sorry. I checked and I only have some pictures of some presenters during the event. From what I recall @wesm might have the pictures

how did you compute these? Can we compute them for arrow-go also? 😄 specifically the arrow, parquet, and internal components

I look through merged PRs and group by labels (if used) and title prefix/commit style type. For Go this was a bit harder to do as the labels are not used for the components, most of the information I got from the commits, see: https://github.com/arrow-maintenance/explorations/blob/main/yearly_highlights/github_repo_report_arrow_go.ipynb.

The current output would thus be:

component merged_prs line_changes top_pr_1 top_pr_2 top_pr_3

Thank you all for the reviews and comments, much appreciated!

I think I included them all. I have also updated the notebooks (no #comments and #reviews columns, nanoarrow notebook has been added).
