OzHaskell: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 13:04, 3 December 2011

There is AngloHaskell and now AmeroHaskell. Doesn't that call for OzHaskell?

Who would be interested to have a Haskell event in Australia, possibly in Sydney? This is just a wild idea without any concrete date or format yet. Jot down any suggestions on this page.

Interested Haskellers:

Manuel Chakravarty (Sydney)
Tony Morris (Brisbane)
Matthew Brecknell (Brisbane, will travel, prefer late Jan)
Mark Wassell - Prefer Jan/Feb option.
Roman Leshchinskiy
Brad Clow (Brisbane)
Jeremy Apthorp
Andrew Appleyard (Sydney)
Bernie Pope (Melbourne)
Ben Lippmeier
Rohan Drape (Melbourne)
Ivan Miljenovic (Canberra)
Eric Willigers
Tony Sloane (Sydney)
Ben Sinclair (Sydney)
Andre Pang
Andrew Bromage (Melbourne)
Dale Roberts (Sydney)
Geoff Wilson (Melbourne)
Oliver Batchelor (Brisbane)
Nick Seow (Sydney)
Sean Seefried (Sydney)
Alexis Hazell (Melbourne)
Philip Derrin (Sydney)
Jeeva (Sydney)
Michael Neale (Brisbane)
Ruslan Abdulkhalikov (Sydney)
David Overton (London, soon to be Melbourne)
Michael Leeming (Sydney)
Ben Horsfall (Melbourne)
Toby Hutton (Melbourne)
OJ Reeves (Brisbane)
Mark Wotton (Sydney)
Isaac Su (Melbourne)

Possible dates

Format

How about the following?

One day meeting with informal talks and demos (preferably on a Friday)
There could be a second, even less formal day, for those who want to hang out some more and maybe some hacking
Run it at the University of New South Wales, Sydney

(Add your thoughts to the above.)

Talks and demos

Do you have anything you'd like to talk about or a system you'd like to demo? This is just a tentative list - you commit to nothing.

 === Talk proposals ===
-* Manuel Chakravarty: ''Type-level Programming with Type Families''
-::GHC recently gained support for data families and type synonym families (which are a generalisation of our earlier proposal for associated types).  In this talk, I'd give an overview over this new language feature, illustrate what it is good for, and discuss why I believe it fits Haskell better than functional dependencies.
-* Bernie Pope: ''The GHCi debugger''
-:: A new breakpoint debugger has been added to GHCi. In this talk, I'd demonstrate how to use the debugger, and also go into some detail about how it works. I might even discuss the relative advantages and disadvantages of this debugger over tools such as Hat.
 === Demo proposals ===
-* rohan drape: ''supercollider for haskellers''
-:: an introduction to, and demonstration of, the [http://slavepianos.org/rd/f/207949/ hsc3] haskell bindings to the [http://supercollider.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/*checkout*/supercollider/trunk/build/Help/Help.html supercollider3]  real-time audio synthesiser; or making experimental music in experimental haskell.
