Guix gathering in Berlin, Dec. 12th?

Guix gathering in Berlin, Dec. 12th?

[Ludovic Courtès]

Hello Guix!

A couple of us will be in Berlin in December for the reproducible build
summit, so I was wondering if there’d be interest in having a Guix
gathering in Berlin on Dec. 12th.  It would be an opportunity to meet in
person and discuss hot topics, use cases, future directions, and so on.

If you think you’d be able to join, please let us know, either privately
or on this list!

I’m probably going to be there :)  Would be lovely to meet some of you.

I hope I'll be able to make it, I'm also interested in the
reproducible-builds meeting. I know next month if I'm able to
attend.

Do you have any specific location in mind, like cbase, onionspace
or whatever one can get for the better half of day?

I was thinking of either the IN-Berlin rooms or the e-Lok (where we have
our FSFE gatherings).  e-Lok is close to Ostkreuz station.

I’ve only been to cbase once after the FSFE summit and people smoke
there.  I prefer indoor air to be without smoke.

@Ludo: at what time would you like this to start and for how long do we
want the room?

I've been there after a conference and it was irritating. All
similar places I've been to have a no-smoke policy and people go
outside. If the rooms you suggested are no-smoke it would be
great.

I haven’t booked my plane tickets yet, so I don’t know exactly, and it
also depends on what everyone else wants.  :-)  I think we’d have no
shortage of things to talk about, though.

Would it be possible to tentatively book the room for the whole day,
like 9AM to 6PM, and adjust later as we see fit?

Thanks,
Ludo’.

I’ve talked to the administration of the youth club “e-Lok” and they say
we could use their media room from 10AM to 6PM.  The “e-Lok” is where
the FSFE Berlin group usually meets once a month.  It’s within 5 minutes
walking distance to the S-Bahn train station “S Ostkreuz”.

Here’s their website:

And here’s how to get there:

It’s happening very soon!  :-)

So far I think we’re just 4 or 5 people who said they would come.
Please bring your own topics!

Mine include: ‘guix pull’, Guix in HPC, the new build farm,
organizational issues.

Cheers,
Ludo’.

I have a prototype for a curses based installer, for which I'd appreciate
critique (hopefully constructive!)

I’d like to chat about ways to make our importers smarter, about
automation of updates, and maybe about how to handle bulk imports from
CRAN and Bioconductor.

I’ll be there early to get the keys and open up the room.  Should we go
out for lunch/dinner on that day?  If so, any preferences?  (Indian
food maybe?)

Okay, I'll be there. Time is fixed to circa 9AM - 6PM? I could
try and meet with one of my berlin contacts in the late evening
afterwards.

I have no specific topics in mind, but I have a long term and
short term roadmap of my live-system based on and integrated into
GuixSD I'd like to try to talk about a bit and maybe get some
input. Try, because currently there's nothing but what I
contribute and work towards, and ideas and issues on our
(currently still non-public) issue tracker. It's just nothing
long to talk about and no slides or anything at all, just
content, phases separation, potential issues etc.

I'm not very often in Berlin, is there some food option for
vegans somewhere around the e-Lok?

We have the room from *10am* to 6pm.

I don’t know, but I’ll try to figure something out.  I’ve never eaten
out in that part of Berlin.  There are a few more restaurants a few
S-Bahn stops away, though.

I’m all for it.  Indian or any other vegetarian option is fine with me.

Would love to come, but Berlin is a bit far from Seattle.  Maybe another
time :)

Additionally I'll have (not very much) questions on the server
side usage of Guix, I'm sure some of the people present will be
able to answer.

It may be a little difficult to see where to go.  Here’s yet another map
that shows where the entrance is.  You’ll know you have arrived when you
stand on a patio facing a big penguin graffito on the wall.

The gathering will take place upstairs in the “media room”, not at the
bar downstairs.  You can go upstairs through the middle entrance, not
the entrance right next to the penguin.
