The Haskell Foundation has been at the center of a flurry of changes, all of which I’d like to share with the community today.
First, José, our executive director for the past few years, has decided to step away from his role in June 2026. José has been the longest-serving executive director at the Haskell Foundation, spending his time interacting with and supporting the community in many ways, often away from public view. Through personal sacrifices, José has allowed the Haskell Foundation to survive some tough times; today, the Foundation is in good shape. The Board of Directors, and I in my personal capacity, are deeply grateful for José’s work and dedication over the years. We wish him the best of luck for the future.
Second, the Board of Directors has decided to take this opportunity to restructure the Haskell Foundation. The principal goal is to dedicate most of the Foundation’s financial resources to technical work. The Foundation wants its members to be able to see a clear causal connection between their contributions and a series of improvements in the Haskell ecosystem. We want our members to have a voice in which projects we undertake, and thereby to take on a much greater sense of ownership of the health of our shared ecosystem.
