The Haskell Foundation
The Haskell Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the adoption of Haskell by supporting its ecosystem, tools, libraries, education, and research.
Services
The Haskell Foundation is committed to broadening the adoption of Haskell by supporting its ecosystem of tools, libraries, education, and research. It administers Stackage, a comprehensive collection of Haskell packages, ensuring the tools remain updated and maintained. The foundation also facilitates community contributions and innovation, ensuring continuous growth and improvement of the Haskell ecosystem. Its efforts, entirely open source, maintain adherence to Haskell’s founding principles of purely functional programming.
History
The Haskell Foundation has established itself as an independent, non-profit organization with the mission of expanding the presence and utility of Haskell in various domains. A significant milestone in its journey has been the completion of the handover of Stackage.org from FP Complete, solidifying its role in administering this key component of the Haskell ecosystem. The foundation's open and community-driven approach has fostered a space for innovation and collaboration.
Community Engagement
The Haskell Foundation emphasizes values such as openness, friendliness, and diversity within the Haskell community. It has adopted the Haskell Guidelines For Respectful Communication to ensure productive and inclusive interactions among its members. The foundation's technical decisions are made transparently, with proposals and debates held publicly. Key communication channels include the Haskell Foundation Discourse and the Haskell Foundation Board Google Group, which facilitate dialogue and collaboration within the community.
Events
The Haskell Foundation actively organizes and participates in events to promote and support the Haskell ecosystem. Notably, it will host the 2024 Haskell Ecosystem Workshop on June 6-7, 2024, in Rapperswil, Switzerland. Such events provide valuable opportunities for the community to come together, share knowledge, and advance the state of Haskell programming.
