Dear Committee,

I'm writing to nominate myself for a position on the haskell.org committee.

As a working Haskell developer at Galois, having reliable infrastructure is deeply important to me, and I would like to help maintain it however I can. I have experience maintaining web, mail, and IRC servers, as well as acquiring and configuring SSL certificates for those services. I hope that these skills may prove of use to the committee.

I also believe this is a critical point in the growth of our community. As adoption of Haskell increases, the decisions we make now will shape how our community develops, for good or for bad. I was moved by Chung-chieh Shan's [Haskell 2013 Program Chair report][1]. As he says, it can be hard work to speak one's mind with compassion, but let me try so that you can know better my concerns and what I hope to work towards.

I believe that a lack of diversity is one of the primary problems facing the Haskell community today. Ashe Dryden recently spoke at Galois and gave an excellent

	(defn ellip-2 [words]
	(str (->> words (re-split #"\s+") (take 3) (str-join " ")) "..."))

	; What does this do? Well, it ellipsizes sentences. it's an improvement upon the book's version.
	; we send it strings like "Yo this is a test sentence!" and we get back "Yo this is..."
	; legitimately useful for creating things like short descriptions to articles.

	; you call it like
	(ellip-2 "Yo this is a test sentence!")
