+1. Ditto to what Jungtaek said: thanks for stepping up to put this
together!

Attachment L: Report from the Apache Calcite Project [Julian Hyde]
## Description:
Apache Calcite is a highly customizable framework for parsing and
planning queries on data in a wide variety of formats. It allows
database-like access, and in particular a SQL interface and advanced
query optimization, for data not residing in a traditional database.
Avatica is a sub-module within Calcite, and provides a framework for
building local and remote JDBC and ODBC database drivers. Since March
2016, Avatica has an independent release schedule, but resides in the
same git repository.
## Issues:
- There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.
## Activity:
Calcite became a top-level project exactly one year ago. On
graduation, the community decided not to adopt bylaws, but to have a
"state of the project" discussion each year, and to rotate the PMC
chair yearly if possible. We have been having this discussion, and
there seems to be consensus on a candidate for PMC chair.
Feedback during the discussion included:
* Satisfaction with the pace of the project, and its ablity to "fan
out" to cover diverse areas of interest (some of practical use to
production systems, some of them more experimental);
* A sense that Avatica is still doing OK as a sub-project (that is, it
is not yet time to consider TLP status), but needs to be factored
into its own git repo;
* A thirst for documentation to make it easier for casual users to use
Calcite.
Development and mailing list activity is steady for both Calcite and
its Avatica sub-project. There has been one release of Calcite, with
another currently under vote, and no releases of Avatica.
Julian Hyde gave a talk at FlinkForward (Berlin).
