This year the european R users meeting (eRum https://erum.io/) will be
held on 27-30 May in Milan (UNI Bicocca and Politecnico)

Call for speakers:

- Closes at 11:59 PM 29 Jan 2020
- Notification of acceptance: February 26, 2020

Travel grants application period is expired, sorry! (Application period:
December 9, 2019 – January 1, 2020)

This will be the 3rd edition and I really hope someone from the Guix/GWL
community can come here to talk about our views on reproducible
research, since they *seems* to always use Docker to "solve"
reproducibility issues :-S

Looking at past editions talks [1]:

1. https://github.com/eRum2016/Presentations-participants
   https://github.com/eRum2016/Book-of-abstracts/raw/master/output/boa.pdf

2. http://2018.erum.io/#schedule

I suspect there are too much misunderstandings about how to solve
reproducibility issues in the R community [2]: please prove me wrong!
:-)

I really would like that "reproducibility" will not become the next
buzzword used just for "marketing" purposes, at least non in the
research community... at least non in R!

Last but not least: registration fee http://2018.erum.io/#registration
of the 2018 edition for people like me (Industry) was about 275
EUR... :-S

Thanks! Gio'

[1] I've made a quick search of "reproducible", "Guix" and "Docker"

[2] e.g. this is a correct analisys of the problem giving the wrong
solution https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNtoRLnIr8E&t=0s&list=PLUBl0DoLa5SAo_XRnkQA5GtEORg9K7kMh&index=61


P.S.: I'm definitely not qualified to apply :-)
