Simon is interested in the design, implementation, and application
of lazy functional languages. In practical terms, that means he
spends a most of my time on the design and implementation of the
language Haskell. In particular, much of his work is focused
around the Glasgow Haskell Compiler, and its ramifications.
I am chair of Computing at School, the group at the epicentre of
the reform of the national curriculum for Computing in England.
Computer science is now a foundational subject, alongside maths
and natural science, that every child learns from primary school
onwards (background here).

I spent most of my adult life trying to build reusable code in
imperative languages before realizing I was building castles in
sand. I converted to Haskell in 2006 while searching for better
building materials. I now chair the Haskell core libraries
committee, collaborate with hundreds of other developers on over
200 projects on github, and I am obsessed with finding better
tools so that seven years from now I won’t be stuck solving the
same problems with small variations on the same tools I was stuck
using seven years ago.

The following groups affiliated with the Haskell Foundation:

- The [Haskell IDE Team](https://github.com/haskell/haskell-language-server)
- The [GHC Steering Committee](https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals)
- [Haskell Weekly](https://haskellweekly.news/)

The following groups are in the process of affiliating. This means they
endorse the Haskell Foundation but are still in the process of adopting the
new guidelines:

- The [Core Libraries Committee](https://wiki.haskell.org/Core_Libraries_Committee)
- The [Haskell.org Committee](https://www.haskell.org/haskell-org-committee)
- The Haskell Admins
- [Cabal](https://www.haskell.org/cabal/)

This is not a closed list! We very much want the Haskell Foundation to be
something by _all of us_. Please [contact](/en/contact/) us if you are
interested in joining us in our quest to make Haskell better for everyone.

#### The Hackage Trustees

Placeholder text until the Hackage Trustees provide an official statement.

#### Volunteers

This is a placeholder for space we will use to include key volunteers who are not on the board or with one of the affiliated committees.
