GNU Guix: Meet Guix at FOSDEM

Next week will be FOSDEM time for Guix! As
in previous years, a
sizable delegation of Guix community members will be in Brussels. Right
before FOSDEM, about sixty of us will gather on January 30–31 for
the now traditional Guix Days!

In pure unconference style, we will self-organize and discuss and/or
hack on hot topics: drawing lessons from the user & contributor
survey
,
improving the contributor workflow, sustaining our infrastructure,
improving governance and processes, writing the build daemon in Guile,
optimizing guix pull, Goblinizing the Shepherd… there’s no shortage
of topics!

This time we’ve definitely reached the maximum capacity of our
venue
so please do not just show up if you did not
register. Next
year we’ll have to find a larger venue!

As for FOSDEM itself, here’s your agenda if you want to hear about Guix
and related projects, be it on-line or on-site.

On Saturday, February 1st, in the Open Research
track
:

On Sunday, February 2nd, do not miss the amazing Declarative &
Minimalistic Computing
track
! It will
feature many Guile- and Guix-adjacent talks, in particular:

But really, there’s a lot more to see in this track, starting with talks
by our Spritely friends on web development with Guile and Hoot by David
Thompson
,
a presentation of the Goblins distributed computing framework by
Jessica
Tallon
,
and one on Spritely’s vision by Christine Lemmer-Webber
herself

(Spritely will be present in other tracks
too
,
check it out!), as well as a talk by Andy Wingo on what may become
Guile’s new garbage
collector
.

Also on Sunday, February 2nd, jgart (Jorge Gomez) will be
presenting a survey of Immutable Linux distributions at the Distributions
track

which will include RDE.

Good times ahead!
