The first year of the Haskell Core Libraries Committee http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Core_Libraries_Committee is winding down, and we are seeking self-nominations to replace two outgoing committee members. Doug Beardsley and Brent Yorgey have offered to be the first two members of the committee to have their slots come up for renewal. To nominate yourself, please send an email to core-libraries-committee@haskell.org by June 30th and include any information that you think will help us reach a decision. The core libraries committee acts as the collective maintainer of many packages that glue together the Haskell Platform, but which otherwise do not have an individual maintainer. See Library Submissions http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Library_submissions for more details about which packages fall to the committee for maintenance. As we are now talking on more of the implementation effort for the Applicative-Monad Proposal, bringing Foldable and Traversable into Prelude, performing active maintenance on vector, etc., you should be forewarned that these are becoming increasingly active positions now that GHC 7.8 has shipped and we are ramping up for more active participation in the GHC release process.
