Thanks for organizing. I think we had over 80 visitors, maxing around 60 at a time. I think we should do this 2-3 times a year. How about creating a simple survey with questions on your first days living with GNU Guix: 1. What was your primary motivation for starting with guix before you started contributing (select one) 2. What was your second motivation for starting with guix (select one) 3. What are your other motivations now you know guix (tick any checkbox) 4. What other distros have you used for longer than a year each (tick any box) 5. What was your software development interest (free text) 6. Other remarks (free text) The idea is to get an understanding why people come to Guix and what motivates them to contribute (work). It may not be representative of what is to come, but it kinda makes sense to me on what we should focus on to find more contributors. My anwers would be: 1. (Sane) deployment 2. Scheme 3. Reproducibility, environment(s), programming, community, GNU... 4. Yggdrasil, Slackware, Red Hat, Rock, Debian, Nix 5. Mixed bag of programming languages and dependencies, and running complex web services 6. Don't plan to use anything else if I can avoid it :) Pj.
