Dear GHC devs,
This year's ZuriHac 2019 [1] will again feature a dedicated GHC track to foster contributions to GHC and teach newcomers how to participate in GHC's development. It was a great success last year, and we hope it will be a great success this year as well.
For that we need your help: We would like to invite you to organize a session in the GHC track. This could be in form of a presentation, a workshop, or a hack session with topics centered around GHC.
For some inspiration, these are the subjects from last year's track:
- Continuous Integration / DevOps, by Manual Chakravarty
- PrimOps / PrimTypes, by Michal Terepeta
- Performance Regression Tests, by Niklas Hambüchen
- Newcomers Tutorial, by Andreas Herrmann
Other possible subjects could be around:
- Improving documentation
- Extending GHC's test-suite
- General GHC development workflows
- The inner workings of some aspect of GHC
Aside from preparing a session, we are also looking for volunteers to be around as GHC mentors during hack sessions to help out newcomers.
Please let us know if you'd be interested in leading a session, or being a mentor, or helping out with this track in any other way. You can contact either Niklas or myself, on this list or by private message.
Best,
Niklas and Andreas
