Re: ZuriHac 2021 - GHC Track - Call for Contributions

[Andreas Herrmann]

Hi Simon,

Yes, an AMA sounds like a great idea! Yes, absolutely, we could collect
some questions ahead of time and then also give people the opportunity to
submit questions during the event.

Best, Andreas

ZuriHac 2021 - GHC Track - Call for Contributions

[Andreas Herrmann]

Dear GHC developers,

This year's ZuriHac 2021 [1], online Friday 18th June to Sunday 20th June,
will
again feature a dedicated GHC track to foster contributions to GHC and teach
newcomers how to participate in GHC's development.

For that we need your help: We would like to invite you to organize a
session
in the GHC track. This could be in form of a presentation, a workshop, or a
hack session with topics centered around GHC.

For some inspiration, these are the subjects from last year's track:
- Write a GHC extension in 30 minutes, by Richard Eisenberg
- A tour of linear types and linear base, by Divesh Otwani
- QualifiedDo: customizable 'do' syntax without fuss, by Facundo Dominguez
- On "simple" constraints for typechecker plugins, by Nicolas Frisby

Please let us know if you'd be interested in leading a session or a
workshop.
You can contact either Niklas or myself, on this list or by private message.

Best,
Andreas and Niklas

ZuriHac 2020 - GHC Track - Call for Contributions

[Andreas Herrmann]

Dear GHC developers,

As you may have heard this year's ZuriHac will be an online event due to
COVID-19 [1]. Nonetheless, we would like to organize a GHC track again this
year with the goal to foster contributions to GHC and teach newcomers how
to participate in GHC's development.

To that end we would like to invite you to hold seminars, workshops, or
hack sessions on topics centered around GHC. Please let us know by replying
to this email if you would like to contribute to this year's GHC track.
ZuriHac will take place from Friday 12 June to Sunday 14 June.

We are still working out the technical details. However, we are planning to
provide a virtual space for people to collaborate on projects, participate
in voice/video chats, and live stream talks.

Best,
Andreas

Re: ZuriHac 2019 - GHC Track

[Andreas Herrmann]

Dear GHC devs,

I'm happy to announce that thanks to your help we will have five very
interesting talks at the GHC track at this year's ZuriHac. The sessions
will be held in the Aula and will be recorded. The schedule is available on
the ZuriHac website: https://zfoh.ch/zurihac2019/#ghc-track

Next to the talks we've also reserved the joined rooms 1.219 & 1.221 for
hacking on GHC. Whether you're interested in contributing to GHC or
learning more about its internals, whether you're experienced and happy to
share your knowledge or new to GHC and would like to learn from others,
you're welcome to join us in those rooms.

Join us in the #ghc channel on https://slack.zurihac.info/. We'll be
communicating updates regarding the GHC track on that channel. And you're
invited to discuss GHC related topics, ask questions, and provide answers
on that channel.

Best wishes and see you at ZuriHac,

Andreas

ZuriHac 2019 - GHC Track

[Andreas Herrmann]

Dear GHC devs,

This year's ZuriHac 2019 [1] will again feature a dedicated GHC track to
foster contributions to GHC and teach newcomers how to participate in GHC's
development. It was a great success last year, and we hope it will be a
great success this year as well.

For that we need your help: We would like to invite you to organize a
session in the GHC track. This could be in form of a presentation, a
workshop, or a hack session with topics centered around GHC.

For some inspiration, these are the subjects from last year's track:
- Continuous Integration / DevOps, by Manual Chakravarty
- PrimOps / PrimTypes, by Michal Terepeta
- Performance Regression Tests, by Niklas Hambüchen
- Newcomers Tutorial, by Andreas Herrmann

Other possible subjects could be around:
- Improving documentation
- Extending GHC's test-suite
- General GHC development workflows
- The inner workings of some aspect of GHC

Aside from preparing a session, we are also looking for volunteers to be
around as GHC mentors during hack sessions to help out newcomers.

Please let us know if you'd be interested in leading a session, or being a
mentor, or helping out with this track in any other way. You can contact
either Niklas or myself, on this list or by private message.

Best,
Niklas and Andreas
