Hi Julien,

Great, I will looking forward to attending the early part of it! (I live near Tokyo and go to sleep early 😅)  

BTW, I use Guix on my Microsoft Surface Book using Windows Subsystem for Linux https://github.com/giuliano108/guix-packages/blob/master/notes/Guix-on-WSL2.md , in addition to my desktop PC.

It would be great if someone can present an 'Experience Report' of running Guix on Windows!

Another suggestion - I think Guix is well suited for cooperative organizations so they can integrate and customize various free software packages to meet their organizational needs.

If nobody is doing it, maybe I can, sometime in the future (too early for me at this time 😅)

Cheers,
Yasu
