Hi *, A few weeks ago, as the close of the 7.10.2 release came closer, I decided to take a vacation; one I've needed for a little while now. Well, it's been a bit long in the tooth with the last RC (and my terrible home internet has blocked me for the past day at least) - but that time has come! After the release of 7.10.2 RC2 today, I'm provisionally be "gone" until the end of August. This week is basically done, so I'm mostly going to be gone. I plan on making my return at ICFP 2015, more or less (end of August in Vancouver). I say "gone" with finger quotes, because I will still be around - but not doing GHC stuff every day for work. I am still part of the Haskell.org Infrastructure team, so I'm still going to be around every week. You can still catch me on IRC, email, or elsewhere. I'll just have a higher latency. My laptop will be around. If you have a problem with Phabricator, emails seem to not get delivered, or server instability - please do CC me directly in an email! That'll make sure it hits my inbox so I can at least respond by the next day. I hope to actually fix some infrastructure issues, so again, please do contact me if something is wrong. But for GHC? In particular, for the interim, Ben Gamari, who has recently joined us at Well-Typed, will be filling in for me. Ben has a lot of experience working on GHC and we're happy to have him - he'll be doing the final 7.10.2 release here in a week or two I think, and I'm sure things will go just fine in the mean time after that. Ben is already subscribed to every GHC patch that comes in on Phabricator, so he'll be doing a lot of code review for the things that come through Phabricator. You can keep me on the reviewer list as a habit - you don't need to change anything here. In the aftermath of this after August, I'll return, and Ben and I plan to keep doing our thing together, and we'll all move towards 7.12.1. But in the mean time, I'll be relaxing. I might find some time for a recreational patch or two as well, but we'll see! Thanks * -- Regards, Austin Seipp, Haskell Consultant Well-Typed LLP, http://www.well-typed.com/
