### What is the main goal of this program?
26
-
Our main goal is to attract people outside the ecosystem to the Haskell
27
-
open-source code development. We hope program attendees stay with the
28
-
open-source movement after finishing their projects to continue contributing.
29
-
30

31

32
-
### What is the timeline for the Summer of Haskell program?
33
-
The full timeline for the 2023 edition can be found on the [homepage](/#projected-timeline).
34
-
35
-
Estimates for medium-size projects: 175 hours to complete; large projects: 350
36
-
hours to complete. The program (work schedule) can be modified individually in
37
-
case a student's school ends late/starts early and collides with the Summer of
38
-
Haskell timeline.
39
-
40

41

42
-
### What are the eligibility requirements for participation?
43
-
44
-
- You must be eligible to work in the country you will reside in during the
45
-
program, and the United States cannot embargo the country you reside in.
46
-
- You must be at least 18 years old before the program's inauguration.
47
-
- Summer of Haskell cannot accept participants (contributors or mentors) from
48
-
Russia, Belarus, or the so-called Donetsk People's Republic ("DNR") and
49
-
Luhansk People's Republic ("LNR"), but there are no restrictions on
50
-
participants in Ukraine but outside of the DNR and LNR.
51

-
### How does the program work?
55
-
Newcomers are mentored by experienced contributors, and learn how to work with
56
-
open source software development and improve their ability to write Haskell
57
-
code. No previous open source experience is needed to participate in the
58
-
program as a contributor, however you need to have some knowledge of writing
59
-
Haskell code. The program is addressed to everyone; there's no need to be a
60
-
student. All the contributors will receive a stipend for their work, even if
61
-
the work is unfinished or the produced code won't be used in the future. The
62
-
program is run entirely online.
63
-
64

65
-
66
-
### Is it possible to be a contributor and mentor at the same time?
67
-
No, by definition, contributors are not experienced with open source while all
68
-
the mentors are experienced contributors and maintainers.
69
-
70
-
---
71
-
72
-
### Why are you running this program?
73
-
The Haskell ecosystem relies on volunteer work. The majority of tools and
74
-
libraries are open source and we want to be aware and educate developers on the
75
-
importance of open source software. Having active contributors and devoted
76
-
maintainers is crucial for our ecosystem to function smoothly.
77
-
78

79
-
80
-
### Are mentoring organizations required to use the code produced by students?
81
-
No. While we hope that all the code that comes out of this program will find a
82
-
happy home, we don't require organizations to use the contributor's code.
83
-
84
-
---
85
-
86
-
### Can I take part in the project as a group of contributors?
87
-
No, we accept only individuals as contributors.
88
-
89
-
---
90
-
91
-
### Can I submit more than one proposal?
92
-
We accept at most two proposals from each candidate.
93
-
94
-
---
95
-
96
-
### How to write a good project proposal?
97
-
Please see our [tips for writing a good proposal](./tips.html)
98
-
99
-
---
100
-
101
-
### How do I know that I've been accepted?
102
-
We will contact you via email and ask you to prepare a tax form applicable to
103
-
your country (our stipend program requirement). In case you are a student in
104
-
the United States on an F1 visa - be sure to get in touch with your school's
105
-
international student affairs office immediately to confirm if you can accept
106
-
the stipend for the project.
107
-
108
-
---
109
-
110
-
### Can I get course credit for participating in the Summer of Haskell?
111
-
You have to confirm that with your school program coordinators.
112
-
113
-
---
114
-
115
-
### How do I become a mentor for Summer of Haskell?
116
-
If you are a community member who is maintaining an active free/open source
117
-
software project under an Open Source Initiative approved license, please write
118
-
to `summer [AT] haskell.org`.
119
-
120
-
---
121
-
122
-
### Are there any other ways to support Summer of Haskell?
123
-
We are looking for sponsors of stipends; the number we're suggesting to
124
-
potential sponsors is 6000 USD. If that is outside your means, you can also
125
-
co-sponsor a student by providing half the stipend for a student.
126
-
127

128
-
129
-
### What if I have another question?
130
-
We are happy to answer! Write us an email summer<at>haskell.org. Please
131
-
remember not to leave your submission to the program until the very last
132
-
minute.
