Proposed November report for Calcite

[Julian Hyde <jh...@apache.org>]

As a top-level project we need to the Apache Board Calcite each month (then quarterly after 3 months). As chair, I am responsible for that report. See guidelines[1].

Here is my proposed report for the November 18th board meeting. Comments/additions/corrections before I file it?

Attachment G: Report from the Apache Calcite Project  [Julian Hyde]

Calcite is a highly customizable engine 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. As a
framework, Calcite’s audience is fairly small, consisting mainly of
developers building data engines (Drill, Phoenix, Hive for example).

Calcite graduated from the Apache Incubator on October 21, 2015.  We
have completed the transition incubating to top-level infrastructure.

We aim to release on about a monthly schedule, although it often
slips to bi-monthly. The last release was 1.4 (incubating) in
September and we will release 1.5 this month, with about 100 JIRAs
fixed.

No committers or PMC members appointed since graduation.

Mailing list, JIRA and git commit activity are at an all-time high
(in October there were 46 commits from 12 contributors, 42 issues
created, 49 issues resolved, 168 mails on the dev list (which does not
include commits or jira traffic)). There is a steady flow of patches,
and there seems to be an up-tick in inquiries into novel uses of the
project since graduation.

We are investigating whether we are compliant with Apache branding
guidelines.

No, seems fine & complete.
