Haskell.org Committee and Infrastructure Status Update

Gershom Bazerman

Since its creation in 2010, the Haskell.org Committee has assumed responsibility for the Haskell.org infrastructure, including domain names and servers, as well as the disposition of haskell.org funds (typically collected as mentor payments from Google Summer of Code). As with other aspects of the Haskell community, the work assumed has been a volunteer effort, with limited resources, occasional mistakes, and lessons learned. This brief (~10 minute) talk is intended to give an overview of how we've been doing, where we have been seeking to improve, and potential future plans. We want to recognize the hard work of the volunteers who have stepped in, and discuss what challenges lay ahead in maintaining stable infrastructure for the growing Haskell community.
