CLC Elections January 2025

[Andrew Lelechenko]

Core Libraries Committee seeks nominations for three expiring seats (including my own). I’m specifically sending this email to ghc-devs, because im my opinion CLC can benefit from representatives of GHC team.

# What is CLC?

CLC is a volunteer body, primarily tasked with management of API of `base` package, but also owning so-called Core Libraries and responsible for PVP. You can find out more at https://github.com/haskell/core-libraries-committee/ 

# Who should apply?

Anyone who meets the following criteria should apply:

* Candidates should have enough bandwidth to review merge requests to `base` on a semi-frequent basis (~3-4 per month), and sustain this for their 3 years term in a healthy manner.
* Candidates should be able to contribute opinions and analysis to issues raised by the community as a part of the CLC proposal process on a semi-frequent basis (~7 per month).
* Candidates should be good communicators, and at least be able to articulate to the CLC team when they will be available vs. unavailable.
* Candidates should be productive, and be able to follow through on merge requests and conversations to their completion in a diligent and timely manner.

We encourage any and all who satisfy these requirements to apply. Please note that we are not looking for the biggest galaxy brain in the room -- quite the opposite. We are looking for productive, motivated individuals who want to help support the ecosystem that we love. As such, we hope to build a broad sample of the community.

# How can I apply?

To apply for one of these positions, send an email to clc.nominations.2025 at gmail.com that consists of the following data:

* The subject “CLC Election September 2025 - {your name}”.
* Why you think you’re a good fit given the above criteria.
* If applicable, please point us to some code you’ve written.

Please apply before Feb 2.

Best regards,
Andrew
