| 2021-09-06 00:05:24 +0000 | <liskin> | Why did everyone go silent after I spoke? :-( |
| 2021-09-06 00:14:46 +0000 | <geekosaur> | everyone went silent in every channel I'm in so I don't think it was you |
| 2021-09-06 00:20:06 +0000 | <liskin> | Oh, good |
| 2021-09-06 00:21:22 +0000 | <liskin> | geekosaur: did you see those mails about HF affiliation and stuff, btw? |
| 2021-09-06 00:22:02 +0000 | <geekosaur> | yeh, altough I was kinda short in network during the week so they're kinda buried somewhere in my inbox |
| 2021-09-06 00:22:57 +0000 | <geekosaur> | I still worry about the HF being more about corporate users than little folks like us |
| 2021-09-06 00:28:44 +0000 | <liskin> | Yeah, I'm starting to worry too, and it's something folks are discussing these days at the Haskell discourse |
| 2021-09-06 00:29:26 +0000 | <liskin> | We'll see where it goes I guess |
| 2021-09-06 00:29:48 +0000 | <liskin> | Ideally everyone benefits |
| 2021-09-06 00:30:21 +0000 | <liskin> | But getting any money flowing our way will be hard. |
| 2021-09-06 00:31:35 +0000 | <liskin> | Getting any money flowing any way is always hard I guess. I sent an email to Andrew from the HF about this a couple days ago and he said getting those corporate sponsorships was a lot of work |
| 2021-09-06 00:31:47 +0000 | <geekosaur> | yeh, tbh I consider this to be a bit of a long shot, xmonad is not the type of project likely to attract much in the way of sponsors |
| 2021-09-06 00:33:24 +0000 | <geekosaur> | and xmonad in particular is not going to be very interesting to corporate users because they tend to prefer centralized configuration |
| 2021-09-06 00:34:57 +0000 | <liskin> | Yeah. I thought some of those Haskell consultancies might do it just for publicity or because a high profile person there is a user or something |
| 2021-09-06 00:35:31 +0000 | <liskin> | People used to say that xmonad is how they got into Haskell |
| 2021-09-06 00:35:52 +0000 | <liskin> | But I feel like it's no longer as relevant as it used to be :-( |
| 2021-09-06 00:37:45 +0000 | <geekosaur> | we've been silent for too long, hopefully kicking out a new release will help |
| 2021-09-06 00:38:04 +0000 | <liskin> | Possibly |
| 2021-09-06 00:38:23 +0000 | <liskin> | I'm not very good at this community building thing |
| 2021-09-06 00:38:54 +0000 | <geekosaur> | nor am I, which really doesn't help much |
| 2021-09-06 00:39:13 +0000 | <liskin> | I try to reach out to folks on Twitter sometimes or reddit, but it rarely leads anywhere |
| 2021-09-06 00:39:47 +0000 | <geekosaur> | also, sadly, while xmonad got a bunch of folks into Haskell, that doesn't mean they stuck around the xmonad community |
| 2021-09-06 00:39:59 +0000 | <liskin> | Having a high bar for contributions doesn't help either |
| 2021-09-06 00:40:08 +0000 | <liskin> | But I can't help it :-( |
| 2021-09-06 00:41:32 +0000 | <liskin> | Anyway, I need to sleep. Let's hope Tomas manages to get some donors and that I manage to finish the release soon :-) |
| 2021-09-06 00:42:24 +0000 | <geekosaur> | indeed |

| 2021-09-06 05:28:09 +0000 | <Solid> | liskin: I don't think the HF would be a good way to attract money; additional publicity perhaps (although on the Haskell Discourse there was some discussion about how much of their budget should be spent on free software projects) |
| 2021-09-06 05:30:34 +0000 | <Solid> | btw, should we set a deadline for the release? maybe work will be more coordinated that way :) |

| 2021-09-06 06:11:32 +0000 | <Hash> | I just did meta+q to restart xmonad and something weird is happening, it's not showing up |

| 2021-09-06 06:18:46 +0000 | <Hash> | In this case xmobar will run the weather monitor, getting information for the weather station ID EGPF (Glasgow Airport, as a homage to GHC) every hour (36000 tenth of seconds), with a template that will output something like: |

| 2021-09-06 07:37:09 +0000 | <Solid> | I dunno if it would introduce unnecessary stress or anything like that, but it seems like the only way to actually make this release :D |

| 2021-09-06 08:27:30 +0000 | <mc47> | and for shoutouts: an individual shoutout on twitter might be nice, especially these are the first sponsors |
| 2021-09-06 08:28:06 +0000 | <mc47> | and maybe a sponsors section in the website, in the community page |
| 2021-09-06 08:29:13 +0000 | <mc47> | (the thesis is taking longer than expected... hopefully I manage to submit it this week and do the presentation next week) |

| 2021-09-06 08:52:02 +0000 | <mc47> | it was fun though |
| 2021-09-06 08:52:36 +0000 | <liskin> | The thing with individual shoutouts is that they're in conflict with trying not to overwhelm people with spam about sponsors until the fundraiser has gained momentum :-/ |
| 2021-09-06 08:52:47 +0000 | <liskin> | Not sure how to deal with this. Should've thought this through when setting the goals |

| 2021-09-06 08:57:06 +0000 | <mc47> | A shoutout tweet each two weeks, maybe? |
| 2021-09-06 09:19:13 +0000 | <liskin> | sounds like a good compromise |
