Dear Haskellers, I'm putting out a call for new nominations (typically but not necessarily self-nominations) to the Core Libraries Committee. We've had two open slots for a while, and technically at least a couple of members of the committee are due to rotate off. To nominate yourself, please send an email to core-libraries-committee at haskell.org by December 1, 2018. The retiring 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. Strong leadership, communication, and judgement are very important characteristics for committee members. The core libraries committee acts as the maintainer of the core libraries mentioned on https://wiki.haskell.org/Library_submissions For the most part members maintain individual libraries under the maintainer guidelines for Haskell, but there are occasional "barn-raising" style calls for discussion and decision whenever things need a broad enough mandate. We seek a broad representation from different segments of the Haskell world -- including but not limited to those focused on education, those focused on industrial applications, those with background in organizing users-groups, and those focused directly on our technical infrastructure. More details about the committee's roles and responsibilities are on https://wiki.haskell.org/Core_Libraries_Committee If you have any questions about the process, please feel free to e-mail us at core-libraries-committee at haskell.org, or contact one of us individually. -Edward Kmett
