----------------------------------- TFPIE 2021 2nd Call for papers ----------------------------------- https://wiki.tfpie.science.ru.nl/TFPIE2021#TFPIE_2021 (February 16 2021, co-organized with TFP 2021 and Lambda Days 2021) Because of the covid pandemic, the events are online this year. The goal of the International Workshops on Trends in Functional Programming in Education is to gather researchers, professors, teachers, and all professionals that use or are interested in the use of functional programming in education. TFPIE aims to be a venue where novel ideas, classroom-tested ideas, and work in progress on the use of functional programming in education are discussed. The one-day workshop will foster a spirit of open discussion by having a review process for publication after the workshop. TFPIE 2021 welcomes submissions in the above mentioned areas. This year many teaching programmes have had to make a rapid transition to online teaching, and we explicitly solicit papers that explore this area of teaching functional programming. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - FP and beginning CS students - FP and Computational Thinking - FP and Artificial Intelligence - FP in Robotics - FP and Music - Advanced FP for undergraduates - FP in graduate education - Engaging students in research using FP - FP in Programming Languages - FP in the high school curriculum - FP as a stepping stone to other CS topics - FP and Philosophy - The pedagogy of teaching FP - FP and e-learning: MOOCs, automated assessment etc. - Best Lectures - more details below In addition to papers, we are requesting best lecture presentations. What's your best lecture topic in an FP related course? Do you have a fun way to present FP concepts to novices or perhaps an especially interesting presentation of a difficult topic? In either case, please consider sharing it. Best lecture topics will be selected for presentation based on a short abstract describing the lecture and its interest to TFPIE attendees. The length of the presentation should be comparable to that of a paper. On top of the lecture itself, the presentation can also provide commentary on the lecture. Submissions Potential presenters are invited to submit an extended abstract (4-6 pages) or a draft paper (up to 20 pages) in EPTCS style. The authors of accepted presentations will have their preprints and their slides made available on the workshop's website. Papers and abstracts can be submitted via easychair at the following link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tfpie2021 After the workshop, presenters are invited to submit (a revised version of) their article for review. The PC will select the best articles for publication in the Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science (EPTCS). Articles rejected for presentation and extended abstracts will not be formally reviewed by the PC. Dates - Submission deadline: January 11 2021, Anywhere on Earth. - Notification: January 15 2021 - Workshop: February 16 2021 - Submission for formal review: April 20 2021, Anywhere on Earth. - Notification of full article: June 7 2021 - Camera ready: July 1st 2021 Program Committee - Peter Achten, Radboud University, Netherlands (chair) - Edwin Brady, University of St Andrews, UK - Laura Castro, Universidade da Coruña, Spain - Stephen Chang, University of Massachusetts Boston, USA - Youyou Cong, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan - Matthew Flatt, University of Utah, USA - Seth Fogarty, Trinity University, USA - Alex Gerdes, University of Gothenburg, Sweden - Gabriele Keller, Utrecht University, Netherlands - Prabhakar Ragde, University of Waterloo, Canada - Melinda Tóth, Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest, Hungary Registration TFPIE is part of Lambda Days.

No worries -- it's not too late! Submission is open until January 15th 2021, for a presentation slot at the event and post-symposium reviewing. The symposium on Trends in Functional Programming (TFP) is an international forum for researchers with interests in all aspects of functional programming, taking a broad view of current and future trends in the area. It aspires to be a lively environment for presenting the latest research results, and other contributions. * TFP offers a supportive reviewing process designed to help less experienced authors succeed, with two rounds of review, both before and after the symposium itself. Authors have an opportunity to address reviewers' concerns before final decisions on publication in the proceedings. * TFP offers two "best paper" awards, the John McCarthy award for best paper, and the David Turner award for best student paper. * TFP is co-located with Lambda Days in beautiful Krakow. Lambda Days is a vibrant developer conference with hundreds of attendees and a lively programme of talks on functional programming in practice. Due to the covid pandemic, the event is online with a lot of attention to interaction and getting to socialize with the community. Important Dates --------------- Submission deadline for pre-symposium review: 20th November, 2020 -- passed -- Submission deadline for draft papers: 15th January, 2021 Symposium dates: 18-19th February, 2021 Visit http://tfp2021.org/ for more information.

2020 Haskell.org Call for Nominations
by Jasper Van der Jeugt 03 Dec '20

03 Dec '20

Dear Haskellers, It is time to put out a call for new nominations (typically but not necessarily self-nominations) to the haskell.org committee. Three members of the committee are at the ends of their current terms: Ryan Trinkle, George Wilson and Tikhon Jelvis. The Haskell Foundation has also recently put out a call for nominations. How does Haskell.org differ from the new Haskell Foundation? Why should you nominate yourself for a role? While the Haskell.org committee shares many goals with the Haskell Foundation, it remains an independent organization to operate the haskell.org website, provide resources and infrastructure, and run programs such as GSoC, like it has been doing for years. The Haskell.org committee has voted to affiliate itself with the Haskell Foundation and several of its members were involved in the founding of the Haskell Foundation. We believe that Haskell.org can represent the community as a stakeholder in the Haskell Foundation and help drive it forward. This makes it an exciting time to nominate yourself, as we'll be able to serve the community better, working closely with other groups in the Haskell community. To nominate yourself, please send an email to committee at haskell.org by the 7th of January, 2020. Current members are eligible to re-nominate themselves. Please feel free to include any information about yourself that you think will help us to make a decision. Being a member of the committee does not necessarily require a significant amount of time, but committee members should aim to be responsive during discussions when the committee is called upon to make a decision. Committee members do not need to be deep technical Haskell experts. Instead we look for enthusiasm towards improving the Haskell community. We aim to represent the different facets of the community. We aim to be diverse in terms of industry or research, and in terms of gender, race and location. The role is about setting policy, providing direction/guidance for Haskell.org infrastructure, planning for the long term, and being fiscally responsible with the Haskell.org funds and donations. As overseers for policy regarding the open source side of Haskell, committee members must also be able to set aside personal or business related bias and make decisions with the good of the open source Haskell community in mind. More details about the committee's roles and responsibilities are on https://www.haskell.org/haskell-org-committee/ If you have any questions about the process, please feel free to e-mail us at committee at haskell.org, or contact one of us individually. Warm regards Jasper
