Dear Haskellers,

The Haskell.org Committee [1] manages funds for haskell.org and
oversees haskell.org infrastructure.

The funds available to Haskell.org generally come from two sources: 1)
Mentor payments from the Google Summer of Code program. 2) Since the
end of 2013, occasional donations [2] from the Haskell community at
large. Our funds are held by Software in the Public Interest, a
501(c)3 US non-profit, through which we also accept donations. In
return for its services, SPI receives 5% of donations to Haskell.org.

According to our charter, "Each year, the committee will post a
statement of the haskell.org assets, and the transactions for that
year."

Included in this message is a brief statement of Haskell.org assets
over the period 31 December 2014 - 31 December 2015. Note that our
expenses are nearly entirely hosting, with a small overhead incurred
by SPI and payment processing. The bulk of our income this year, over
which we did minimal fundraising, is $7,000 in mentor payments from
google summer of code 2014 (mentor payments for 2015 have not yet been
received). Hosting fees are down from years past, as we have migrated
more of our infrastructure away from Hetzner and to Rackspace, which
donates to us free hosting.

1. Income and Expenses
  Total income over 2014: 7751.46
  Total expenses over 2014: 892.03
  ----
  Net income over 2014: 6859.43

3. Total Balance
Balance as of 31 December 2014: 26,422.91
Balance as of 31 December 2015: 33,547.34

Note: As of December 2015, we have a moved a large chunk of our
balance out of the SPI-held account and to a new account set up
directly under the control of Haskell.Org, as Haskell.Org is now
registered as a nonprofit 501(c)(3).

Apologies, slight amendment to our closing balance due to a
mistranscription on my part (I had given our jan balance).

Subject: [Haskell-community] Call for Haskell.org committee self-nominations
Message-ID: <m2h9h5rijz.fsf@newartisans.com>

Dear Haskellers,

It is time to put out the call for new volunteers to the haskell.org
committee. We have one member due for retirement since this past October:
Gershom Bazerman. The committee would like to thank him for his excellent
service.

To nominate yourself, please send an email to committee at haskell.org by
March 4, 2016. The retiring members are eligible to re-nominate themselves.
Please feel free to include any information about yourself that you think will
help us to make a decision.

Being a member of the committee does not necessarily require a significant
amount of time, but committee members should aim to be responsive during
discussions when the committee is called upon to make a decision. Strong
leadership, communication, and judgement are very important characteristics
for committee members. The role is about setting policy, providing
direction/guidance for Haskell.org infrastructure, planning for the long term,
and being fiscally responsible with the Haskell.org funds (and donations). As
overseers for policy regarding the open source side of Haskell, committee
members must also be able to set aside personal or business related bias and
make decisions with the good of the open source Haskell community in mind.

More details about the committee's roles and responsibilities are on

    https://wiki.haskell.org/Haskell.org_committee

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

Thank you,
