If we look back the causes of the current stall is pretty obvious. We had a very large turnover in the committee 2 years back when I joined, with 3-4 people stepping down all at once as I recall.
Then Ganesh spotted the fact that we didn't have anyone left with access to the infrastructure and stepped up to do maintenance work, which is why we didn't have any issues last year, but he left the committee ~6 months after his term as chair ended. There is almost nobody left on the committee who was here 2 years ago, and it was initially stacked with many of the folks who knew how the infrastructure worked. Most of our discussions in the meantime has been on getting the arrangement with SPI set up and in dealing with random summer of code overhead, so this rather large gap in our capabilities hadn't been apparent until now. -Edward On Thu, Jun 13, 2013 at 8:36 AM, Edward Kmett <[email protected]> wrote: > Gershom has taken the initiative to contact the folks who have root and > see how we can get people on the box. > > -Edward > > > On Thu, Jun 13, 2013 at 8:10 AM, Simon Peyton-Jones <[email protected] > > wrote: > >> This is serious.**** >> >> ** ** >> >> Haskell.org committee, this is your moment of glory -- the moment for >> which the committee was born!
