Hey everyone, apologies for the subject of the email here. I inadvertently
said "Haskell Foundation" instead of Haskell.org.
The Haskell Foundation and Haskell.org are separate entities, and while
several of us on the haskell.org committee have been working closely with
the foundation, we do remain an independent entity serving the haskell
community. I merely got some wires crossed when drafting the title for the
email.
Thanks,
~Rebecca Skinner on behalf of the haskell.org committee

This has been an eventful year for many of us, and haskell.org is no
different. This year we've continued to support a significant part of
the Haskell community infrastructure- including haskell.org, Hackage,
Hoogle, and GHC build infrastructure. We're able to do this thanks to
the support of the Haskell community.
In addition to our ongoing work maintaining Haskell community
infrastructure, we once again participated in the Google Summer of
Code this year, supporting 12 projects. You can read more about the
projects here:
https://summer.haskell.org/news/2020-10-12-final-results.html
As many of you are likely aware, this year also saw some of our
community successfully launch a new initiative, the Haskell
Foundation. We are thrilled for the Haskell Foundation and
congratulate them on their successful launch.
Haskell.org is an independent organization, and while we welcome any
opportunities to collaborate with the Haskell Foundation, we will
continue to pursue our mission of managing and supporting Haskell
community infrastructure. If you would like to support Haskell.org in
our mission, you can donate via several method, including PayPay and
check:
https://www.haskell.org/donations/
Haskell.org can also accept donations through employers via Benevity
using the unique ID 475236502.
Haskell.org is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, so donations may be
tax-deductible in your jurisdiction.
Another way to help haskell.org is to serve on the committee. We have
three positions opening in 2021, and our call for nominations is open
through Jan 7th 2021. Please email the committee at
committee@haskell.org if you would like to nominate yourself or
someone else for a position.
We look forward to continuing this work with your support in 2021 as
well as exploring new projects to improve the Haskell community
infrastructure.
Best wishes, Rebecca Skinner on behalf of the haskell.org committee.
