Hi Dan,
I'm in New York now, so I won't be around as much to help out with
organizing. However, it's likely I could be convinced to come give a talk
and participate. I can also follow some of the same paths that I did this
year, to ask about sponsorship by Google. It was a bit of a mess the last
time around, and I don't even remember what ended up happening; but asking
earlier is usually better.
Thanks,
Chris

It's time to start thinking about the next BayHac!
I am assembling a group of organizers for next year's event. Anyone who has been involved in organizing past BayHac events will be automatically accepted. (I have BCCed a number of past organizers; please reach out to any you know in case I missed anyone.)
Anyone else who is interested in helping to plan BayHac, please contact me. Depending on how many past organizers rejoin, we will discuss the applicants and accept 1 to 3 new organizers.
BayHac is a weekend of learning, sharing, and hacking on a variety of projects for the Haskell community. BayHac usually occurs in San Francisco, California, Mountain View, California, or thereabouts.
I'd like to aim for April/May 2019, though that is, of course, subject to change.
A rough outline, in rough chronological order, of what the BayHac organizers will be doing:
0. Assemble the organizers. 1. Select date and venue for BayHac 2019. 2. Secure corporate sponsors to cover costs (mainly, food). 3. Invite talk proposals and select speakers. 4. Open online registration and publicize the event. 5. Plan details like catering, registration desk, recording, and make it happen!
If any of that sounds like fun to you, then I'd love to hear from you!
