Sure thing. I'll circle back around on these. Thanks for the
recommendations.

Thanks Josh for getting the release out!
The news item and release note still need work. There are a couple of typos:
‘specifical’ and a backslash. “These release has fewer notable issues” is
lukewarm (I presume you mean bugs fixed, not bugs remaining), and so I’d lead
with the performance improvements paragraph. Passive voice is to be avoided!
Active (or imperative) voice gets to the point in fewer words. For example,
change the first sentence to “The Apache Calcite PMC is pleased to announce
Avatica release 1.7.0, the first independent release of Avatica”.
In both the news item and history.md, use two brackets in the .md, which will
turn into one bracket and a link to issues.apache.org in the html. For example,
[[CALCITE-1091](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-1091)]
In history.md, can you fill in the date of release 1.7.0. Also, the sentence
"Numerous improvements aimed at reducing the overall latency of Avatica RPCs
was reduced” is nonsense as it stands.
I think you can publish the site today, just wait til tomorrow to announce on
email and twitter.
I saw you already merged back to master — thanks for that. I’ll start the ball
rolling for the first RC of Calcite 1.7.0.

Logging what I've done (just in case I missed something along the way)
* Wrote up a new article for avatica 1.7.0
* Pushed artifacts to dist.a.o/release for pubsub to do its thing
* Released maven staging repo
* Sent [RESULT]
* Updated Calcite's avatica.version to 1.7.0
I think at this point, I just need to wait for pubsub to do its thing and then:
* send msg to [email protected]
* Publish avatica website
* Send something out via Twitter
* Find a beer?
