Guix Days and FOSDEM 2021

Guix Days and FOSDEM 2021

[Pjotr Prins]

As we have a devroom at FOSDEM 2021 we decided to organise an online
Guix day too on Feb. 8th. 2021. Unlike other years it is an online
event which also gives the opportunity to have people attend from all
over the world! We are making it a one day event of 12 hours so we can
start with Asia, move into Europe and on to the USA!

We'll likely have some (recorded) talks half way the day. The rest of
the day is organized as an unconference with different topics and
possibly different rooms much as we do in in the live version in
Brussels every year. 

Anyone wanting to organise a session is invited to post an idea to the
wiki page. Prerecordings and/or reading material are welcome so people
can prepare for discussion. Edit:

During the FOSDEM devroom we'll ask speakers to mention Guix and the
fringe event. We will organise a support room for Guix installation and
use that runs the whole day.

The organisers of this day are Manolis, Pjotr, Bonface and Efraim with
support from the Guix development team. We hope to see you all at
FOSDEM and during the Guix day!

A reminder that thanks to our organising team we have a great line up
for FOSDEM:

  https://fosdem.org/2021/schedule/track/declarative_and_minimalistic_computing/

with famous Guix contributors and Guixers doing the moderating :) All
virtual and online this year, so you can attend from anywhere! Put
Sunday February 7th in your diary!

And then on Monday 8th we have another Guix day online as a low
profile unconference. Do sign up and we'll send a reminder here. See

It is great to do a virtual FOSDEM this way and be able to reach a far
wider audience. Even so we are also happy if just 10 people show up and
get some declarative hacking done :)

Manolis & Pjotr.

We’ll have to refine the program or at least the main parts for the Guix
day (I think some of the items were copied from last year :-)).

Let’s also have a blog post on-line around Feb 1st along the lines of
<https://guix.gnu.org/en/blog/2020/meet-guix-at-fosdem-2020/>!

Thank you Manolis & Pjotr for organizing all this as always!

Ludo’.
