Anyone in the Boston area next week? We are going to work on GNU Guix
packages and add them to CloudBiolinux (location Hack/Reduce):

Hey Pj,

I live in Somerville.  I might be able to join in on the 9th, but I'm
busy on the 10th.n

Could you elaborate more on how Guix relates to this event?

That would be great! Also for some advocacy.

For biomedical and biological purposes, Cloudbiolinux packages
software. Mostly .deb, homebrew and ad hoc scripts. I have been a Nix
fan for a long time and I think Guix is just the right way forward
(Nix expressions are somehow a little too foreign for many people, I
have found).

It would make sense to move some of the Cloudbiolinux related
packaging to Guix. There will be quite a few good people who are
working on software deployment, so please hop over if you can! There
are 50-60 programmers coming to the hackathon.

Oh, neat.  Yes, I find that using a general purpose language like Guile
is much better than inventing a special language.

Since it's a Wednesday, I'll be working at the FSF office during the
day.  Does the hackathon continue into the night?  If I can be useful, I
can try to join in after work.

In my experience day time is most productive. Unless we end up with a
group of interested people. If you can pop in for a few hours, I'll
try and organise a gathering with which we can continue later. Is that
an option? Or if you come by say 3pm? At worst you end up with me, but
I expect more interest. I'll see if we can get interested parties on
the group list this week.
