FOSDEM 2023 Haskell devroom proposal - co-organiser needed!

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). The text of my proposal may be found at https://github.com/frasertweedale/talks/blob/master/2022-02-xx-fosdem-haskel.... I have experience organising and host FP miniconfs at linux.conf.au including running the CFP etc. I expect FOSDEM will be similar, except y'know, the other side of the world from Australia, where I live. Thanks, Fraser

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 /\ Henriksen

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

Hi all,
Sorry to be late to this conversation, and I'm glad to see that this got
submitted!
I'd like to help out from the HF side if possible. What would be most
useful to you?

David, thank you very much. First we wait and see if they accept the Haskell devroom proposal (announcement on or around 31 October). If so, then HF may be able to assist in such ways as: - Sending someone from HF to give an intro/update about HF and work being undertaken or sponsored by HF. - Provide swag (e.g. stickers) - or assist to arrange some. - Other good ideas I didn't think of yet. FOSDEM also has a "stands" area and the stands CFP is still open for submissions (until 15 November). Perhaps Haskell Foundation could consider submitting a stand proposal? More info[1].
