SIGMOD and out

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

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.

Glad to hear it went well! Would have liked to have been able to join, but
hopefully we'll meet at the next conference :) Thanks to you and Edmon for
presenting!

One more thing. I like to make sure that each release works on
Windows, since we don't test regularly.

This morning I built and ran Avatica on my Windows VM. All clear.

Some Calcite tests failed, but they might be due to recent changes
that I have not yet merged to master.
