<div dir="auto">Dear Haskellers,
<div dir="auto"><br />
It is time to put out a call for new nominations (typically but not<br />
necessarily self-nominations) to the Haskell.org committee. We have<br />
three members of our committee due for retirement --</div>
<div dir="auto">Jasper Van der Jeugt, Niki Vazou, and Mitsutoshi Aoe (who is writing</div>
<div dir="auto">this announcement).</div>
<div dir="auto"><br />
To nominate yourself, please send an email to committee at haskell.org<br />
by the 7th of January, 2020. The retiring members are eligible to re-nominate<br />
themselves. Please feel free to include any information about yourself<br />
that you think will help us to make a decision.</div>
<div dir="auto"><br />
<div>The Haskell.org committee serves as a board of directors for<br /></div>
Haskell.org, a 501(c)3 nonprofit which oversees technical and<br />
financial resources related to Haskell community infrastructure.<br />
<br />
Being a member of the committee does not necessarily require a<br />
significant amount of time, but committee members should aim to be<br />
responsive during discussions when the committee is called upon to<br />
make a decision. Strong leadership, communication, and judgement are
<div>very important characteristics for committee members. The role is<br />
about setting policy, providing direction/guidance for Haskell.org<br />
infrastructure, planning for the long term, and being fiscally<br />
responsible with the Haskell.org funds (and donations). As overseers<br />
for policy regarding the open source side of Haskell, committee<br />
members must also be able to set aside personal or business related<br /></div>
bias and make decisions with the good of the open source Haskell<br />
community in mind.<br />
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto">We seek a broad representation from different segments of the Haskell<br />
world -- including but not limited to those focused on education,<br />
those focused on industrial applications, those with background in<br />
organizing users-groups, and those focused directly on our technical<br />
infrastructure.<br />
<br /></div>

If you have any questions about the process, please feel free to<br />
e-mail us at committee at haskell.org, or contact one of us<br />
individually.<br />
<br /></div>
