Hi all As announced back in 2015 <http://blog.haskell.org/post/7/the_future_of_community.haskell.org/> we have started archiving community.haskell.org services. We've created https://archives.haskell.org/, and the old projects mailing lists have been the first to be archived. Next on the list is the remainder of projects.haskell.org, and the code.haskell.org site. As always, you can email admin(a)h.o or hop on the #haskell-infrastructure freenode channel to provide feedback / concerns. Thanks - Mario

Requesting review/feedback on GSoC Project Proposal
by Khilan Ravani 25 Mar '18

25 Mar '18

Sir/Mam, I have uploaded the draft proposal on the Haskell organisation's GSoC page for the project "Enhancing the Haskell Image Processing Library/Package with State of the Art Algorithms" and would like to request you to kindly review the same. Thank you for your time and consideration, Yours sincerely, Khilan Ravani.

hackage redesign discussions
by Gershom B 23 Mar '18

23 Mar '18

If people want to participate there are now a space of design and ux-tickets on the hackage tracker. I've tried to tag them all with "discussion". https://github.com/haskell/hackage-server/issues Hopefully I can collect small changes and make style-only update compound update proposal, that will be followed by a small style-only update to the main server. This is important because we want everything to be largely settled for the haddock release, to ensure that the final design of it meshes with what we iterate to on hackage: https://github.com/haskell/haddock/pull/721 -g

new governance page on wiki
by Gershom B 23 Mar '18

23 Mar '18

I created this page to help further factor out and centralize information about he profusion of bodies we now have, and help direct people where they may want to go to report issues: https://wiki.haskell.org/Haskell_Governance It should be a useful place to direct people to when they want to know "who do I talk to about X issue”. --Gershom

Requesting guidance for GSoC Project
by Khilan Ravani 19 Mar '18

19 Mar '18

Sir/Mam, I am a sophomore student pursuing Computer Science and Engineering (C.S.E) from Indian Institute of Information Technology, Vadodara. I am well adapt with concepts of Deep Learning, Image Processing & AI and am currently working on a few research topics in the same domain. I have adequate experience in machine learning and Signal / Image processing (completed a few deep learning based projects ) and am currently pursuing some research problems in Satellite Imaging (Hyper-spectral data analysis) and processing SAR images. Firstly, I would like to sincerely apologize to you for contacting you via the mailing list this late. Please forgive me for misinterpreting the process for new project ideas for participating in GSoC 2018 for Haskell organization. Actually, I tried to communicate my interest for 'Summer of Haskell' program (I was unaware at that time that it was only for years when Haskell didn't participate in GSoC) to the general committee (*committee(a)haskell.org <committee(a)haskell.org>*) from where George Wilson sir directed me towards Alp and Jared sir and then I got in touch with Alexey sir. The project that I aim to accomplish during the GSoC period is quite straightforward. I plan to enhance the existing code base of Haskell Image Processing (HIP) package with some new contemporary algorithms (with a few state of the art ones). The current version of HIP package has a limited scope and I plan to manifold the coverage of this library by adding various algorithms from different classes of image processing in it. I have discussed this project with Alp, Jared and Alexey sir of whom Alexey sir is the author of the HIP package. Some algorithms which I plan to implement include : 1) Adaptive Histogram Equalization (since Histogram is already implemented) 2) Canny Edge Detection, Contour Extraction 3) Hough transform 4) Gabor filter 5) Deconvolution 6) Otsu Thresholding method 7) Dithering (Floyd - Steinberg) 8) Un - implemented filters (HOG, LOG etc.) 9) Fingerprint (i.e Biometric) Detection. I feel that this project is doable within the summer period and that it can be a great addition to the Haskell organization since firstly, It would expand the scope of the library and increase the user base of Haskell and secondly, no other functional programming languages (including Clojure, Elm etc.) have a decent image processing library and hence it can be a very good chance for Haskell to be an obvious choice of developers looking forward to implement Computer vision problems with some functional programming language. I have had an discussion with Alexey and Jared sir and they seem to agree that this project can be a really good addition for our Haskell organization. Also, for my technical skills : I do possess the required programming skills (C++, OpenCV, Python, Haskell (Basics), Tensorflow, Keras (CUDA framework), Watson API, Matlab) as well as the exposure to open source platforms such as github. Also, I can provide you with my CV if and when you say. I would be really delighted to know how you feel about this project. Once again, I am very sorry for contacting this late via the mailing lists and would like to sincerely request you to go through the project that I am suggesting and kindly provide your valuable opinions on the same. I will happily provide you with further clarifications on the project if you need any. Looking forward to hear from you. Thank you, Yours sincerely, Khilan Ravani.

[GSoC2018]A format-preserving YAML library for Haskell
by Xing GUO 14 Mar '18

14 Mar '18

Hello, My name is Xing GUO. Maybe it is a little bit late to ask something about GSoC, I am interested in implement YAML library... I am not a proficient Haskeller, but, I think I could do it perfectly ... What I have done in Haskell is a toy regex engine https://github.com/higuoxing/Haskell-Re ... Could this be a competancy test ? It will be very appreciated if someone could help me ... Regards, Xing
