Calcite 1.17 was released on 20th July (2 months ago) and since then there have been almost 100 commits.
Does anyone have constraints on when 1.18 should be released? (My opinion: we should aim for 3 months after 1.17, and therefore we will need an RC before 10th October.) Does anyone have any JIRA cases that they would like to get into 1.18 but they have not yet finished? Who would like to be release manager? Do we need a new Avatica release before we make this Calcite release? https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-2467 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-2467> describes one reason to do so: jetty versions. Also, it would be nice if both projects used the new parent POM (see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-2486 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-2486>) but it’s not essential.
