On behalf of all the contributors, we are pleased to announce that the
Haskell Communities and Activities Report (30th edition, May 2016)
is now available, in PDF and HTML formats:
http://haskell.org/communities/05-2016/report.pdf http://haskell.org/communities/05-2016/html/report.html
All previous editions of HCAR can be accessed on the wiki at https://wiki.haskell.org/Haskell_Communities_and_Activities_Report
Many thanks go to all the people that contributed to this report, both directly, by sending in descriptions, and indirectly, by doing all the interesting things that are reported. We hope you will find it as interesting a read as we did.
If you have not encountered the Haskell Communities and Activities Reports before, you may like to know that the first of these reports was published in November 2001. Their goal is to improve the communication between the increasingly diverse groups, projects, and individuals working on, with, or inspired by Haskell. The idea behind these reports is simple:
Every six months, a call goes out to all of you enjoying Haskell to contribute brief summaries of your own area of work. Many of you respond (eagerly, unprompted, and sometimes in time for the actual deadline) to the call. The editors collect all the contributions into a single report and feed that back to the community.
When we try for the next update, six months from now, you might want to report on your own work, project, research area or group as well. So, please put the following into your diaries now:
======================================== End of September 2016: target deadline for contributions to the November 2016 edition of the HCAR Report ========================================
Unfortunately, many Haskellers working on interesting projects are so busy with their work that they seem to have lost the time to follow the Haskell related mailing lists and newsgroups, and have trouble even finding time to report on their work. If you are a member, user or friend of a project so burdened, please find someone willing to make time to report and ask them to "register" with the editors for a simple e-mail reminder in November (you could point us to them as well, and we can then politely ask if they want to contribute, but it might work better if you do the initial asking). Of course, they will still have to find the ten to fifteen minutes to draw up their report, but maybe we can increase our coverage of all that is going on in the community.
Feel free to circulate this announcement further in order to reach people who might otherwise not see it. Enjoy!
