Opportunity to promote Haskell at FOSDEM

[David Christiansen]

Dear Board,

One thing we talked about earlier this year is how useful it could be for there to be a stronger Haskell presence at FOSDEM in Brussels, based on my experience there.

Our former secretary Hécate is coordinating the devroom application, but if anyone on the board is interested in arranging a stand as well, then that could be very useful. Here's the thread where the community is organizing things: https://discourse.haskell.org/t/fosdem-2024-dates-announced-haskell-devroom-proposal/7561/8

If the HF wants to make this happen, I think it'll be the board who does it due to timing. I also understand if you're all busy right now, of course :-)

All the best,

David

Hi David, hi everyone,

Indeed I'll be handling the administrative process for securing a devroom and more generally a presence during next year's FOSDEM. 

Do feel free to come if you can, as this will also be the opportunity to recruit / onboard newcomers and volunteers, and your status will most certainly help in this endeavour.

The CFP for the devrooms has opened, I'll keep you updated in the thread David linked.

Cheers,

Hécate
