Hello, Below you can find a draft of this quarter's board report. I plan to submit the final version next Wednesday (Oct 9, 2024).
Please let me know if you have any additions or corrections. ## 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. ## Project Status: here are no issues requiring board attention. ## Membership Data: Apache Calcite was founded 2015-10-22 (9 years ago) There are currently 75 committers and 29 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 5:2. Community changes, past quarter: - Mihai Budiu was added to the PMC on 2024-07-26 - Norman Jordan was added as committer on 2024-08-14 ## Project Activity: There was no release in Q3 yet, however, we've planned to release Calcite 1.38.0 and Avatica 1.26.0 lately. Calcite 1.38.0 is mostly ready, it's hopeful to release it in one or two weeks. Besides releases, I would like also to mention that several talks related to Apache Calcite were presented by Jiajun Xie, Cancai Cai, and Xuanda Wen in Apache Community Over Code Asia 2024 (happened in HangZhou on July 26-28). ## Community Health: The community maintains a super healthy status, previously it's healthy, the reason is that we've invited both a new Committer and a PMC member in Q3. Most of the statistics has increased compared to last quarter (dev@ increased by 42%, issues@ increased by 46%, commits increased by 90%, code contributors increased by 43%), and the numbers of non-committer commits and active reviewers are have also increased. All the numbers show that the community is in a good status, there are always new contributors coming in which is very important for the community. The number of non-committer (contributor) commits per month: +------+-------+---------------------+ | year | month | contributor_commits | +------+-------+---------------------+ | 2024 | 7 | 30 | | 2024 | 8 | 28 | | 2024 | 9 | 28 | +------+-------+---------------------+ The number of active reviewers per month: +------+-------+------------------+ | year | month | active_reviewers | +------+-------+------------------+ | 2024 | 7 | 7 | | 2024 | 8 | 4 | | 2024 | 9 | 7 | +------+-------+------------------+ Top reviewers in the last 3 months: +----------------------------------+---------+ | committer | reviews | +----------------------------------+---------+ | Mihai Budiu <mbu...@feldera.com> | 37 | | NobiGo <nobigo...@gmail.com> | 24 | | Julian Hyde <jh...@apache.org> | 11 | +----------------------------------+---------+ -- Best, Benchao Li
