All curators are +volunteers. + +This is a great opportunity to contribute to the haskell community and get +familiar with the tools of the trade! You will also be in regular +contact with experienced community members. + +We don't have any prerequisites, but familiarity with any of Haskell, +Cabal, Stack, Linux, Git, and Docker is a plus. + +We work in shifts of one week, which means you will be on duty every +6th week. Our suggestion is to pair you up with another curator to +help out in the beginning. + +The workload is usually about 30 minutes per day, whenever you have +time. The work consists of keeping the builds running on the build +server, filing issues for packages needing updates when new releases +occur, and closing resolved issues. The LTS snapshots are prepared +once a week. All communication with package maintainers happen on +github. + +We also have a curator slack channel where we help each other out. + +The current curator team consists of: +* Adam Bergmark +* Dan Burton +* Jens Petersen +* Luke Murphy +* Michael Snoyman + +We onboarded Luke as the newest member a few months ago and this +helped us iron out and document the process further. + +You read the curator documentation here: https://github.com/fpco/stackage/blob/master/CURATORS.md + +To apply, please fill in this form: https://goo.gl/forms/eD6lTLtuyyHAIcfC2 + +If you applied last time, we encourage you to do so again!
