[ghc-steering-committee] Welcome Malte and Matthías, and other membership changes

[Simon Peyton Jones]

Dear GHC SC members,

You'll remember that we agreed to have a second round of nominations.
(Malte and Matthais you won't have seen this, but the idea is to give us a
few more members, so that we can broaden and deepen our pool of expertise
and bandwidth.)  Adam announced this (below).

*We also agreed that each of us would personally invite three people to
nominate themselves.  A personal invitation is FAR more effective than a
blanket invitation.*

So can each of you think of three people, and tell Adam (cc the rest of us)
who you are going to invite?  That way we'll avoid duplication, and it'll
give each of us a little incentive to do it.

I will invite

   - David Binder
   - Sebastian Graf
   - Krzysztof Gogolewski
   - Ryan Scott
   - Matthew Craven

I was wondering about

   - Jaro Reinders
   - Mark Seeman -- I don't know him at all but his blog post are regularly
   featured on HWN
   - Brandon Chinn -- active on Haskell Discourse
   - Teo Camarasu -- ditto
   - maxigit  -- I'm not sure who they are but they post a lot on Discourse

If you have reservations about any of these, drop me a line.  I'll wait a
day or two.

And do send in your list of three (or more!) who you will invite.

Simon

Call for Nominations 2024

Working Group
March 7

Following the recent nomination round, the GHC Steering Committee is
delighted to welcome @maralorn <https://discourse.haskell.org/u/maralorn>
and @Tritlo <https://discourse.haskell.org/u/tritlo> as new members. In
addition, @rae <https://discourse.haskell.org/u/rae>, @nomeata
<https://discourse.haskell.org/u/nomeata> and @int-index
<https://discourse.haskell.org/u/int-index> are reaching the end of their
terms, and have decided to step down. Many thanks to all of them for their
service to the Haskell community!

Given that a larger committee would help spread out the work of reviewing
proposals, we have decided to open a second round of nominations where we
will consider appointing up to 3 more members. If you would like to
nominate yourself, please get in touch with me by email to
adam at well-typed.com as soon as possible. Or if you know someone else who
would be a suitable member of the committee, please encourage them to apply.
