Hi team, I am writing this email to know if there is interest in the community about submitting a Calcite paper to CIDR 2017.
<http://cidrdb.org/cidr2017/index.html><http://cidrdb.org/cidr2017/index.html><http://cidrdb.org/cidr2017/index.html>http://cidrdb.org/cidr2017/index.html It is a great systems-oriented DB conference. I think we should try to give Calcite publicity in it, as there is a growing interest among practitioners on extensible frameworks that can power multiple data processing systems while hiding the complexity behind it [1]. I know that there are a few people from academia among the PMC and committers, so this should be specially interesting for them. The length for a contribution paper is 6 pages, and the deadline is within less than a month (August 21, 2016). Creating such document would be a valuable contribution to the community, as it could serve as an starting guide for the Calcite project, the ideas behind it, its architecture, etc. Plus, even if the paper was not accepted at CIDR, we could always submit it somewhere else later on. It is also important that everybody working in the project gets due credit. Thus, it would be awesome to hear previous experiences wrt authorship, acknowledgements, etc. from members of the community who are involved in other Apache projects. Once we know if the idea is gets enough traction (it must be soon if we want to make it on time), we could organize a kick-off hangout to sketch the paper structure and split the work. I am looking forward to hearing your thoughts! Jesús [1] http://cidrdb.org/cidr2015/Papers/16_Abstract113HB.pdf <http://cidrdb.org/cidr2015/Papers/16_Abstract113HB.pdf>
