I'm back from the SIGMOD conference in Houston, where Edmon and I received an excellent audience for our talk. (See my tweet [1] with a picture and slides attached.)
I did a straw poll of the audience at the start of the talk, and only about 15% had heard of Calcite. "I wish I'd known about Calcite when..." was a common refrain. Plenty of room for us to grow in the academic community! Thank you again to my co-authors Jesus, Michael and Daniel, and especially Edmon, for making this paper[2] happen. It was long overdue. I shall be offline for the next ten days, camping in the mountains. Committers, please help keep the community running smoothly by timely reviewing pull requests and answering questions.
