Thanks a lot Björn for dealing with the application.  It’s a bit sad we
didn’t get it, but like you write, there’s a lot of competition for
relatively little space.  Oh well, maybe next year!

I’m really looking forward to the Guix days, I’m confident it’s going to
be fruitful and pleasant.

I agree.  We should print stickers and hopefully the FSFE booth or some
other location will happily host them!

Speaking of which, if someone has ready-to-use SVG files with stickers
(maybe including the word “Guix” and not just the horns), please share!
Someone can order them and then we can likely get it reimbursed by the
Guix fund at the FSF or through the Guix Europe non-profit.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
