FOSDEM 2023 Haskell devroom - Call for Participation
by Fraser Tweedale
I am thrilled to announce the **FOSDEM 2023 Haskell Devroom** and
issue this Call for Participation.
FOSDEM 2023 will be held on 4 & 5 February 2023, in Brussels. For
more information see the official site: https://fosdem.org/2023/.
The Haskell devroom will take place on Sunday 5 February, from
13:10 to 17:00 UTC+1. Presentations will be also streamed live and
published afterwards.
## Key Dates
2022-11-28: Submission Deadline
2022-12-12: Announcement of selected talks
2023-02-05: Haskell Devroom
## About the Haskell devroom
Haskell is a statically typed functional programming language. Its
vibrant community spans industry, academia and the hobbyist realm.
The Haskell devroom welcomes people new to Haskell or functional
programming, as well as intermediate or experienced Haskellers.
The Haskell devroom will:
- Advocate the Haskell programming language, and its community, to a
wide audience of free software developers and users.
- Promote and support participation in free software projects that
use Haskell.
- Teach Haskell (more broadly, functional) programming techniques,
and introduce important libraries, frameworks or developer tools.
## Call for Participation
We invite proposals for talks, tutorials and demos on topics
including:
- Introductory talks teaching functional programming concepts and
Haskell programming
- Practical advice for Haskell programming: developer tools, package
ecosystem, Haskell in production.
- "Show and tell" session for people to introduce Haskell projects
they are involved with, and invite contributions.
- Experience reports: share about problems you tackled using
Haskell, and the outcomes.
- What is going on in the Haskell community? Where and how you can
get involved?
Sessions will have a maximum duration of 30 minutes, including
questions. You are welcome to propose shorter sessions (for example
a demo, short talk or Q&A).
This is an in-person event. Presenters must be able to attend to
deliver their presentation.
## Code of conduct
Speakers and attendees must abide by the FOSDEM Code of Conduct[1].
Also, because this is a Haskell community event we expect
participants to follow the Haskell Foundation Guidelines for
Respectful Communication[2].

[2] https://haskell.foundation/guidelines-for-respectful-communication/
If you submit a proposal and it is accepted, you will be required to
confirm that you accept the FOSDEM Code of Conduct. If you have any
questions about the Code of Conduct or wish to have one of the
devroom organizers review your presentation slides or any other
content for compliance, please email us and we will do our best to
assist you.
## How to submit
Submit proposals through the FOSDEM Pentabarf submission tool[3].
If you do not already have an account, you need to create one.

Thank you - I updated the Fedora ghc9.4 package to 9.4.3.
Fedora users can install it from updates-testing repos already (available
for several days now) .
The EPEL9 build was just completed today (due to some build issue on
s390x).
