Dear Haskellers,
We are pleased to announce that nominations are now open for the Haskell.org
committee. You can nominate yourself or a friend for a three-year term
(2026-2028) by sending an email to [committee at haskell.org] by December
05, 2025. There are three seats open for election this year. The committee will
elect members in December 2025 for the term beginning in January 2026.
Self-nominations and re-nominations are also welcome. Please include any
relevant information about yourself or your nominee that you think will help us
make our decision.
Committee members do not have to be technical experts in Haskell. We are looking
for people who are enthusiastic about improving the Haskell community and come
from a variety of backgrounds, such as academia, industry, open-source
development, and community building. Our goal is to represent the various facets
of the Haskell world, including gender, race, location, and industry or
research.
The committee’s responsibilities include setting policies, providing guidance
for Haskell.org infrastructure, planning for the long term, and being fiscally
responsible with Haskell.org funds and donations. Being a committee member does
not require a significant amount of time, but members should be responsive
during discussions and should be able to attend monthly calls and participate in
the Haskell.org Slack and mailing lists.
Candidates for the committee should possess strong leadership, communication,
and judgment skills. They must be able to set aside personal or business-related
biases and make decisions with the good of the open-source Haskell community in
mind. For more information about the committee’s roles and responsibilities,
please visit Haskell.org Committee
If you have any questions about the nomination process, please feel free to
email us at [committee at haskell.org], or contact one of us individually.
