> 
> ## Description
> 
>  Apache 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.
>  Since graduation, we have completed the transition incubating to
>  top-level infrastructure, appointed two new committers, and made one
>  release.
> 
> ## Issues:
> 
> - There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.
> 
> ## Activity:
> 
> - 1 release since the last report in November.
> - We fixed the branding issues mentioned in the last report; the web
>   site now complies with the branding guidelines.
> - List, JIRA, and commit activity are at or above average.
> - Release 1.5 took a bit longer than average; we expect release 1.6
>   will be on the shorter side. This release has no grand goals, but
>   contributors are contributing improvements in their own particular
>   areas of interest: improved constant reduction, streaming, support
>   for sequences are examples.
