Nominations for the Haskell 2011 committee
So that the Haskell 2011 cycle can get underway, we are soliciting nominations for new committee members. Since this is the first time we've done this, the procedure is still somewhat unsettled and things may yet change, but the current guidelines are written down here: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/haskell-prime/wiki/Committee In particular, on the makeup of the commitee: The committee should represent each class of stakeholders with roughly equal weight. These classes are * Implementers (compiler/tool writers) * Commercial users * Non-commercial users (e.g. open source) * Academic users (using Haskell in research) * Teachers * Authors In addition, members of the committee should be long-standing users with a deep knowledge of Haskell, and preferably with experience of language design. The committee should contain at least some members with a comprehensive knowledge of the dark corners of the Haskell language design, who can offer perspective and rationale for existing choices and comment on the ramifications of making different choices. To nominate someone (which may be yourself), send a message to haskell-prime@haskell.org. Please give reasons for your nomination. The current committee will appoint new commitee members and editors starting in the new year, so the deadline for nominations is 31 December 2009. During discussion amongst the current commitee, we realised that the choice of committee should be informed not just by the criteria above, but also by the particular proposals that are expected to be under consideration during this cycle. With that in mind, we plan that following the nominations the current committee will choose a "core commitee" of up to 10 members, and further members may be appointed during the year based on expertise needed to consider particular proposals. Accordingly, now would be a good time to start discussing which proposals should be considered in the Haskell 2011 timeframe, as that may affect the choice of commitee members.

I would like to nominate Neil Mitchell for the Haskell Prime committee. He falls into the categories of commercial user, and open-source tool writer. He has been part of the Haskell community for around 5 years, and a very active contributor. Regards, Malcolm
Hello,
I would like to participate in the design of Haskell 2011. I have
used Haskell for about 10 years, commercially at Galois Inc, for the
last 3. I have a good understanding of all parts of the language and
various implementations, and I have a particular interest in its type
system and semantics, which is why I think that I would be able to
provide valuable input to the committee.

I also put myself forward for next year's committee, although I'm equally happy to stand down and make way for new members. In any case I plan to continue working on proposals for Haskell 2011, perhaps we should be thinking about Concurrency for 2011? There's already a draft of the report text that I wrote for Haskell Prime here: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/haskell-prime/wiki/Concurrency/DraftReportTe...

If and when you think the MPTC (Multi-parameter type class) dilemma should be discussed, in particular with respect to our recent work on this problem [1], I would be glad if I can contribute.
