[CfP] Guix in Open Research Tools & Technologies (FOSDEM)?

[CfP] Guix in Open Research Tools & Technologies (FOSDEM)?

[Simon Tournier]

Hi,

As you maybe know, some Guix folk will be in the devroom [1] on 
Declarative and Minimalistic Computing at FOSDEM on 4th of February, 
2023.  Do not forget to send your proposal! :-)

Aside, Guix also fits for other devrooms, as "Open Research Tools & 
Technologies" [2].  And it is on Saturday 4 February 2023. \o/

The call for participation is open.  Deadline for the proposal 4th Dec 
2022 23:59 CET.
Note that talks can be physical or online, and 25min or 15min.

Well, if people are interested to present Guix in this devroom, we 
could synchronize.

Cheers,
simon

FOSDEM tracks: deadlines are approaching!

[Ludovic Courtès]

Hi!

To complement what you wrote Simon, here’s a subset of the devrooms at
<https://fosdem.org/2023/news/2022-11-07-accepted-developer-rooms/> that
I think could be good venues for Guix talks:

  • Containers, Dec. 10th
    https://discuss.linuxcontainers.org/t/fosdem-2023-containers-devroom-call-for-papers/15597

  • CI/CD, Dec. 12th
    https://lists.fosdem.org/pipermail/fosdem/2022q4/003457.html

  • Declarative & minimalist computing (don’t miss it!), Dec. 3rd
    https://lists.fosdem.org/pipermail/fosdem/2022q4/003446.html

  • HPC, big data, and data science, Dec. 16th
    https://hpc-bigdata-fosdem23.github.io/

  • Nix & NixOS :-), Dec. 7th
    https://lists.fosdem.org/pipermail/fosdem/2022q4/003463.html

  • Open research tools & technologies, Dec. 4th
    https://lists.fosdem.org/pipermail/fosdem/2022q4/003470.html

  • RISC-V, Dec. 10th
    https://lists.fosdem.org/pipermail/fosdem/2022q4/003474.html

  • Security, Dec. 1st (oops!)
    https://github.com/security-devroom/fosdem-2023

It looks like Simon or myself will submit to the Open research tools
devroom.  It would be nice to have talks in some of these, it’s a good
way to engage with broader communities.

There’s a great program in the minimalistic computing devroom, with lots
of Guile and Guix!

  https://fosdem.org/2023/schedule/track/declarative_and_minimalistic_computing/

A quick search reveals additional Guix talks in other devrooms:

  https://fosdem.org/2023/schedule/event/openresearch_guix/
  https://fosdem.org/2023/schedule/event/rv_gnu_guix/
  https://fosdem.org/2023/schedule/event/security_where_does_that_code_come_from/

Exciting!

FOSDEM’s coming!

[Ludovic Courtès]

Hello Guix!

I’ve prepared a blog post about FOSDEM and the Guix Days that we could
publish tomorrow (Friday) or Monday:

  https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix/guix-artwork.git/tree/website/drafts/meet-guix-at-fosdem-2023.md

Please take a look and send patches if needed!  If someone can come up
with some kind of a logo for the Guix Days, that’d be great; otherwise
we’ll just reuse the one from last year.

note that the Guix Days take place on February *2nd and 3rd* (correctly
identified as Thursday and Friday in the post).

Thanks for doing the work of collecting all this, can't wait to see the talks!

Unfortunately I won't be able to be there in person and the time difference will make attending much of it live difficult, but I'll be around besides for my own short talk.

You may want to clarify what "video only" means. I take it that is for remotely presented talks, which are recorded beforehand, though the presenter should be available virtually during that time for live questions.

Speaking of, just a minor typo I noticed (for my own small part). Here is a quick diff for the change:

In past editions, support for on-line interaction was pretty good so I’m
confident it’s going to be nice.

Good point, I’ll clarify that.

LGTM.  Except the Guix Days dates:

    *Thursday Feb. 2nd and Friday Feb. 3rd**

A quick comment about:

        Believe it or not, it’s the [9th year Guix is represented at
        FOSDEM](https://guix.gnu.org/en/blog/tags/fosdem/)!  There are
        several talks that will let you learn more about different areas
        of the joyful Hydra Guix has become.

When submitting a proposal for a stand (that had been refused :-(), I
collected all the presentations – if I have not missed some; let me
know.

In this FOSDEM 2023 session, we have 10 talks about Guix, compared to
the 31 ones counted over the past years.  Is Guix becoming trendy?  ;-)

Woow, this is impressive!

I won’t put it all in the blog post :-) but we should make sure all of
them can be reached from the web site.

We should also consider launching tv.guix.gnu.org to stream Guix talks
24/7 worldwide.

Unfortunately I'll won't make it to Brussels this year, so I ask if
there is an IRC chat or recording of talks at the fringe event.

The fringe event will not be recorded, sadly.  Some people will be on
IRC I guess. :-)
