AngloHaskell/2007

On June the 9th, Microsoft Research sent out an advert for job. This job involves maintaining the Glorious Glasgow Compiler, and created quite a stir in the Haskell community: It's the job we've all been hoping for! After a while the CV's were sent, and Microsoft Research has now invited several Haskellers for an interview at Cambridge, UK.

This event has been recognized as a great opportunity for a Haskell gathering and we hereby invite all Haskellers (and other cool people) to a fun couple of days in Cambridge.

Date:

• Friday the 4th and Saturday the 5th of August.

Definite attendees:

• Lemmih (anytime between 31st of July to 11th of August, can stay for a couple of days)
• PhilippaCowderoy (barring emergencies, can hang around)

• Peter Nuttall (am around from the 26 July onwards, baring the 3rd when I'm in ipswitch)
• Gen Zhang (am in Cambridge anyway)

Possible attendees:

• dcoutts (depends on the date)
