Subject: [Haskell] Haskell Weekly News: Issue 156 - October 27, 2010
To:
Welcome to issue 156 of the HWN, a newsletter covering developments in
the [1]Haskell community in the week of October 17 - 28.
I did not manage to filter out good posts from Haskell-Cafe this week.
If you see a thread in -cafe that you think would be good to share with
the community, please do share it with me. I need to find a better way
of keeping up with the mountain of posts to that list.
There were a total of 34 new stories posted to the Haskell Reddit
channel (+10), 47 new questions taged with Haskell in StackOverflow
(+20), and 332 messages posted to Haskell-Cafe (-76).
So, what was hot last week?
Announcements
John Hughes [2]announced that the Functional Programming group at
Chalmers is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher for a two year
position, starting as soon as possible.
Wouter Swierstra [3]called for workshop and co-located event proposals
for the ICFP 2011 in Tokyo, Japan.
Zhong Shao [4]informed us that the Department of Computer Science at
Yale University is seeking applicants for a PostDoc and PhD positions
in the broad area of certified software.
Josh Tripplett wrote in to tell us about Ore, a [5]packaging system for
Ruby inspired by Haskell's Cabal!
According to [6]this haskell community calendar, there are 2 events to
take note happening next week: The Haskell Communities & Activities
Report submission deadline on Nov 1, and BelHac (in Ghent, Belgium) on
Nov 5 - 7.
