[Haskell-cafe] Let's plan BayHac 2019!

[Chris Smith]

Hi Dan,

I'm in New York now, so I won't be around as much to help out with
organizing.  However, it's likely I could be convinced to come give a talk
and participate.  I can also follow some of the same paths that I did this
year, to ask about sponsorship by Google.  It was a bit of a mess the last
time around, and I don't even remember what ended up happening; but asking
earlier is usually better.

Thanks,
Chris
