See below a draft of this month's board report. Please let me know if you
have any additions or corrections. Thanks!
## 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-project within Calcite and provides a framework
for building local and remote JDBC and ODBC database drivers. Avatica has
an independent release schedule and its own repository.
## Issues:
- There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.
## Activity:
Development and mailing list activity is steady for both Calcite and its
Avatica sub-project.
Calcite 1.17.0 was released mid-July with a new multi-dialect SQL parser as
well as the use of JDK 8 features in the core. Avatica Go 3.2.0 was
released early September followed by a bugfix release shortly after.
We have continued to have a steady string of new committers with solid
contributions.
## Health report:

and Avatica.
