Greetings,

I decided to propose a Haskell devroom (like a one/half-day specialist track or miniconf) for FOSDEM 2023, to be held February 4--5 in Brussels. It would be great to promote Haskell among this audience and hopefully attract new contributors / community members.

Unfortunately I left it quite late (deadline submission is today). I only just realised I need a secondary contact (i.e. co-organiser) to submit the proposal. So... any volunteers?

Ideally you are located in Europe or definitely planning to attend FOSDEM. If you are willing, please reply! I think I all need right now is your name and email address (and enthusiasm).

I think it is important to have a Haskell devtrack at FOSDEM, so if no-one more qualified appears, I'd like to volunteer. I intend to attend FOSDEM in 2023. I have attended and presented at FOSDEM previously, but have not been co-organiser of anything FOSDEM-related before. I have (co-)organised a few academic workshops, so I have a vague idea of what is needed. My name and email address are as in this email.

Troels, thank you very much. I have submitted the proposal. If the devroom proposal gets accepted, I look forward to working with you - and other volunteers - to make it a success. Cheers, Fraser
