Hello,

The Haskell Foundation Technical Working Group (TWG) serves as an advisory organization for both the HF management and the Haskell community as a whole, by evaluating specific proposals for projects that can have broad, ecosystem-wide effects. These proposals can be:

• Community RFCs that seek the community’s input on a project
• Community projects that will be executed primarily by the proposer, but seek administrative or financial support from the HF
• HF projects that a community member would like us to execute
• Other topics of relevance to the community

Volunteers wanted!

We presently have three openings on the working group, and we’re seeking volunteers. Members are expected to attend a monthly meeting, to participate in and moderate discussion threads regarding specific proposals, and to evaluate proposals for their technical merits. From time to time, committee members may also be asked to help a community member revise their proposal. The ability to communicate well and respectfully is important for any potential member.

These discussions have a real impact on the Haskell ecosystem, so this is an opportunity to give back in a meaningful way.

If you are interested, or if you know someone who might be, please get in touch with me at [email protected]! You don’t have to be a long-term Haskeller, or someone who is deeply embedded in Haskell development - we have members with this background already. If you are unsure as to whether you would fit in, please get in touch, and we can have a chat about it. We would like to have members with diverse backgrounds, professional experiences, and knowledge. All self-nominations must be submitted by the end of the day on Jan 12th 2024.
