\section*{Google Summer of Code}
Malcolm Wallace announced Google is running its 'Summer of Code' project again this year, and Haskell.org is once again going to apply to be a mentoring organisation. If you're interested in earning money to hack on Haskell, and helping out the community, take a look at the wiki.
 
\section*{Haskell in the browser}
Dimitry Golubovsky announced that the YHC JavaScript backend  is now in alpha testing, and is open to experimentation for those wanting to write Haskell directly for the browser

\section*{Quotes}
\begin{itemize}
\item \emph{teamonkey} the Haskell solutions that people are posting are generally so much more concise and elegant than for any other language
\item \emph{Dan Zwell} I am fairly new to Haskell, and I didn't realize how easy concurrent code is until I wrote this
\item \emph{anonymous} The Haskall (sic) language is often uses by very intelligent programmers, it often allows to use lazy computations and iterations, but it has the advantage that its iterators behave better (than in Python), and during the generation of some items you can, when you want, refer and use the items already generated.
\item \emph{Corun} I don't understand, what's the advantage of hugs? The uni here says to use hugs, though, but I kept finding myself going in to ghci to get a useful error message
\item \emph{} They say that if it compiles, it will run correctly. It?s nearly true! I?m amazed. ... Such buglessness will remove a huge source of indeterminism in production environments where the work of many teams is co-ordinated by schedules.
\item \emph{dolio} I've made a domain specific notation for describing puddings.
\item \emph{cschneid} [Haskell] changed the way I look at decomposition of problems in the more corporate languages (Java and C\#). I use far fewer variables, and more side-effect free methods. It's made my code clearer, and easier to test.
\item \emph{nicodemus} I've written some Erlang and much more Haskell. My take so far is that Erlang is good for teaching you how to fish, Haskell is good for teaching you about procuring food (including fish).
\item \emph{paulzork} Haskell is to functional programming like C is to imperative languages? Sort of the latin root?
