Guile Developer Meetup at Guix days 2023

[jgart]

Hi Guilers,

I had mentioned on IRC a few weeks ago regarding meeting up to discuss ways that we can improve the Guile debugger, be it through better documentation tutorials, patches to the C or Scheme code, etc. People seemed to be interested in meeting up.

Are people interested in doing our first meetup online for that in February?

Thursday, February 2nd or Friday, February 3rd 2023, the two days before FOSDEM

Coffee at 9:30AM, and starting at 10AM (UTC+1). 

I was thinking we can have a hybrid meetup (in-person/online) at Guix Days. I'll be there in Brussels.

Are developers who are familiar with the Guile debugger parts interested in having a round big blue button table informal discussion to talk about current development, tickets, issues, etc. regarding the Guile debugger and how people can become involved?

Andy, do you or anyone else who might be intimately familiar with the guile debugger code or has committed to it before happen to be available during Guix Days to give us a quick informal tour of that part of the codebase over Big Blue Button*?

Here's more info on Guix Days:

There's a matrix room for Guix Days here if you'd like to come chat there about the event:

all best,

I'd suggest this paper if you don't know much about the dwarf format:

     https://dwarfstd.org/doc/Debugging%20using%20DWARF-2012.pdf

I'm in US/Pacific time zone and may attend remotely if 
timing/teleconnect works out.

 From the digging I've done it seems a bit more dwarf generation needs 
to be added
to the compiler.

I would love to have an hybrid meetup (in-person and online).  However,
the network of the place in Brussels where the Guix Days will be is
really too poor for supporting such hybrid meetup.  Well, from my
experience of the past Guix Days in the same place.

Maybe, the network have been improvement and it would be possible this
year. :-)


Cheers,

Hi Simon,

I'm going to move the guile core dev meetup to March. It will be online. I'll send an update here soon.

See the Guix Days wiki for my updated proposal.

Hi Andy,

Thanks for the reply, keep us posted on the bar meet for Friday. It would be great to meetup for a beer.

all best,

jgart
