The Launch of the Haskell Foundation

Simon Peyton Jones returns to Haskell eXchange to announce the launch of the Haskell Foundation, an independent, non-profit organisation dedicated to broadening the adoption of Haskell, by supporting its ecosystem of tools, libraries, education, and research. Do join us to hear about the plans so far, and to help shape what the Foundation becomes.
There will be an extended Q&A as part of the session.
To ensure as many people as possible hear about this important announcement, this Opening Keynote will also be live-streamed on YouTube. Watch the stream for free here.
