I believe riscv64 will be an important architecture to support for all free software. The boards are quite costly right now (~$1000), so it's a good opportunity to get some.

Especially after watching some of the FOSDEM 2019 videos, anyone
interested should be happy to know that this likely is less of writing
support from scratch in all the upstream projects but rather porting
Guix itself to 64-bit riscv5 (riscv64? I don't know the nomenclature).
After Guix itself works then you'll want to build All-The-Things™ and
fix build failures as you come across them. For some examples you can
check the git repo for commits including "aarch64-linux" or "Fix build".
There are a couple of packages, like mesa, which get special attention
since its much much easier to work on natively.
