Anglo Haskell 2008

Anglo Haskell is a gathering of all people Haskell-related from
beginners, to seasoned hackers to academic giants. All and more are
welcomed by large fuzzy green lambdas.

Anglo Haskell has happened for the last two years and we see no reason
why it should not happen again this year. For the last two years they've
tended to have talks on Fridays and then Other Things on the Saturday
(including Punting and Group Hacking, some or more of which may have
happened in Pubs). We're proposing the same general format this year.

In contrast to the last two years which have been held at MSR Cambridge
(UK), we're this year proposing to hold the event at Imperial College,
London. London is probably easier to get to and from (though more
tedious to get across) than Cambridge and we hope this will attract
people who previously have not been able to get out to Cambridge.

The proposed dates are Friday the 8th and Saturday the 9th of August.

More details are available on the wikipage:
http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/AngloHaskell/2008
Please feel free to add to this page.

If you're at all interested in coming along then please add your name to
the wikipage. If you're interested in giving a talk - on literally
anything Haskell related: this is not a solely theory day or solely a
practical day; anything goes which is Haskell related - then similarly
add yourself to the list of speakers.

Schedule and other details will be confirmed soon. Lodging, travel and
all other related matters will be discussed on the irc channel (and will

There have been no objections to holding Anglo Haskell at Imperial this
year and no objections about dates either. Thus we're now able to
confirm this will happen at Imperial on the 8th and 9th of August as
advertised.

Some people have signed up on the wiki page, please add your name if you
are able to come or are considering coming along. Also please make use
of the wiki page and #anglohaskell irc channel to arrange where to stay
overnight if necessary.

Finally, once again, if you'd like to give a talk then please add your
name to the list on the wiki page. We really do need both attendees and
speakers to make this event a success.

Anglo Haskell 2009 is nearly upon us and planning has been going well!
We are delighted to be able to confirm Simon Marlow is headlining this
year's event which is being held at Imperial College, London on the 8th
and 9th of August (Friday and Saturday).

We are also very happy to be able to announce there will be talks on
both days: 5 talks on the Friday and at least 3 and possibly 4 on the
Saturday. There will be an evening meal at local resturant on the
Friday evening followed by the odd drink for those that way inclined; a
lazy brunch on the Saturday morning, and then potentially some group
hacking on the Saturday afternoon and evening. We are truly excited
about this and should very much like to see you *all* there!

Full details are available at:
http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/AngloHaskell/2008

Things that are still to be added to that page which will appear over
the next week:
o) Phone numbers for myself and Tristan so that should you get lost you
     can ring one of us;
o) Video or photos of how to navigate to the correct room at Imperial -
     should somehow signs fail to materialise.

Please think about coming along - even if it's just for a single day.
It's FREE after all! If you are coming please put your name down on the
list on the wiki page, and further, if you'd like to come out to dinner

Re: Anglo Haskell 2008

Anglo Haskell 2008 is all but upon us! In under 18 hours a weekend[0] the
like of which has not previously been seen (except in 2006 and 2007)
shall be unleashed. Full details of the momentus events that will befall
us this weekend can be found on the wiki:

http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/AngloHaskell/2008

For all of you who are not lucky enough to attend, salvation is at hand
- a live broadcast of the audio (sorry, no video) will be available
from:

http://streams.wellquite.org:8000/AngloHaskell2008.ogg

This will be available from 11am BST (GMT/UTC + 1) tomorrow (Friday 8th)
and from 1pm BST Saturday. The recording will also be dumped to disk and
should eventually be edited and appear with the slides presented for at
least the main talks.

Looking forward to seeing you *all* there tomorrow!

Matthew

[0] Err, technically, a Friday and Saturday.

Anglo Haskell 2008 - slides, audio and incriminating photos

(actually, we didn't take any photos!)

So, Anglo Haskell 2008 has been and gone. Many fair souls braved both
the weather and the London transport system and were entertained for two
days at Imperial College, London.

Slides and audio are now available from:
http://www.wellquite.org/anglohaskell2008/

Your challenge, if you choose to accept it, is to work out when the
speakers change which slide is on the screen. Bonus points will be
awarded to anyone who also identifies when to turn *back* to a previous
slide!

Cheers,

Matthew
