Re: FOSDEM + Guix Days approaching!

[Bengt Richter <bokr@bokr.com>]

Hi Pjotr,
(who kindly added me to the list of 40),

This is to announce publically that my slot will be available,
as I sadly will be unable to attend.

I hope this is early enough that it will not go to waste.

See my top-post (sorry) snippet: my slot of the 40 is now available!

This looks like such a great program, and I am really sorry to miss out ;-/

My main laptop is dying, effectively only runnable until the fan starts (noisily still,
after a horrendous vibration while a powerful fan went like a stump chipper grinding
at something. The internet says I am not alone). Plus it's showing signs (again)
of battery swelling, and no warrany fix this time.

So I have ordered a Purism librem13v4 which will come next week ;-)

I hope to run guix on it, so if anyone else is running PureOS on a librem,
I would appreciate any tips getting a robust setup going.

Have fun a Guix-Days!
