Affiliating with the Haskell Foundation #1807
Description
Hi All,
I'd like to formally invite the Haskell Language Server team and its advisors to collaborate directly with the Haskell Foundation as affiliates. As many of you know, the HF has been quite successful in bringing many distant parts of the community together to get them talking, collaborating, and generally working together. I think this a great opportunity for HLS. Particularly, because HLS is an integral part of the tooling system, which affects everyone else. Personally, I think HLS has been the most pleasant tool I've used since coming to Haskell, and I would love to see it supported long term!
What does Affiliation Entail?
It's a pledge to abide by the Guidelines For Respectful Communication (GRC) defined here, and an invitation to join us in our Slack to help plan our technical agendas, and to communicate with all of our other affiliates.
A slack link may be found here: https://join.slack.com/t/haskell-foundation/shared_invite/zt-mjh76fw0-CEjg2NbyVE8rVQDvR~0F4A
Additionally, the HF makes sure that any resource requests (e.g. maintainers, hardware etc.) are handled appropriately. If HLS is having trouble locating people to maintain, we can help! The HF does not expect to dictate or change the way maintenance is done in any way, nor dictate the course of projects - only make sure that they are well-supported and happy, and if there is a particular feature request in our agenda, we work with existing tooling to avoid writing a brand-new solution. We focus on honoring community contributions instead of building our own from scratch.
How does HLS affiliate?
Just say yes! We will provide a link on our website, and a platform for sharing requests and interaction with the rest of the community, and that's it. Easy!
