What exactly do you have in mind? Well, when you put it that way, anything that can convince you to come to DebConf ... ;) One thing is to have a meeting of the haskell team, the perl team often does this at DebConf, so why shouldn't we? I'm pondering ideas about a talk involving involving functional package management (Nix, Guix), the rise of declarative configuration in Debian (triggers, control files, tendencies in debian/rules), schroot et al, docker, reproducible builds. I think these are all interrelated in interesting ways. Not a talk as such, but I'd like to look into what it will take to get Fay and/or Haste packaged, with haskell library packages supporting that compiler where appropriate. I'd enjoy getting a broader sense of the state of FP languages in Debian too, if other language teams get involved in such a track. -- see shy jo
