Re: [DISCUSS] Draft board report for January 2019
My apologies, Michael. I like the idea of using labels to categorize the PRs. For instance, something like "xs", "small", "medium", "large" etc to categorize the scope of the change might make it easier for committers to identify easy-to-review PRs. This might be useful for those who are not familiar with the whole code base, but don't have time to look through all the PRs to identify ones they can review.

Updated report as follows: ## 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 1.18 was released towards the end of December with significant enhancements to the SQL dialect: JSON functions, linear regression functions and the WITHIN GROUP clause for aggregate functions. Avatica 1.13 was released in early December and included numerous bug fixes, upgraded dependencies and docker images for the HSQLDB flavor of Avatica. The PMC Chair was switched from Michael Moir to Francis Chuang on Dec 21 2018, following the project's tradition of rotating the PMC chair each year. We continue to have a steady amount of contributions from new and existing community members. All of our git repositories (calcite, calcite-avatica and calcite-avatica-go) were migrated to gitbox. Finally, the project received a lot of excellent contributions, but a number of them were not able to be merged into the Calcite 1.18 release due to pull requests not being reviewed in a timely manner. ## Health report: Activity levels on mailing lists, git and JIRA are normal for both Calcite and Avatica. ## PMC changes: - Currently 19 PMC members. - No new PMC members added in the last 3 months - Last PMC addition was Kevin Risden on Mon Jul 09 2018 ## Committer base changes: - Currently 35 committers. - No new committers added in the last 3 months - Last committer addition was Andrei Sereda at Fri Sep 14 2018 ## Releases: - 1.18.0 was released on Fri Dec 21 2018 - avatica-1.13.0 was released on Tue Dec 04 2018 - avatica-go-3.2.0 was released on Mon Sep 17 2018 ## JIRA activity: - 154 JIRA tickets created in the last 3 months - 105 JIRA tickets closed/resolved in the last 3 months On 3/01/2019 1:20 pm, Julian Hyde wrote: I wouldn’t put it into “issues” because, as you say, there is nothing the Board can do.

Thanks, Julian! I mentioned changing the PMC Chair and the migration to gitbox. I also added a bit about the reviewing of PRs under "issues". I am not quite sure what the board can do to help us, but I do hope this is something we can address soon for Calcite. Avatica and Avatica-Go seem to be fine, but they don't receive a lot of PRs.

Re: [DISCUSS] Draft board report for January 2019
Even though you probably don’t want to blow your own trumpet, Francis, I think we should call out the change of VP, and the fact that we have had a "peaceful transition of power” to a new person every year since graduation. I am proud of this particular Calcite tradition, and one excellent side effect is the growing number of former VP “elder statesmen” in our community. Also mention the transition to gitbox?
