SeaGL 2018 Accepts Guix-Themed Talk: "Everyday Use of GNU Guix"

Hi Guix!

I recently submitted a Guix-themed talk proposal for SeaGL 2018 [1], a
local GNU/Linux conference that takes place in November here in Seattle,
and I'm happy to report that it was accepted!  Here's the link:

"Everyday Use of GNU Guix"
https://osem.seagl.org/conferences/seagl2018/program/proposals/526

I'm very excited about it!  I've been to SeaGL before as an attendee,
but this is the first time I'll try my hand as a presenter.  It's a
great opportunity to promote and share Guix within my local community.

I'll do my best to introduce Guix to the attendees!  If even one person
from Seattle decides to give Guix or GuixSD a try, I'll consider that a
success!  I need more Guix here on my home turf.  :-)

Is it being recorded? Best of luck from a Parabola user.

Yes, it will be recorded.  The acceptance email said that this year, the
SeaGL organizers hope to record all talks (unless the speaker explicitly
requested not to be recorded, which I did not).  So you'll be able to
watch my talk and most of the others if you can't make it in person!

Terrific! Definitely drop us all a link, I look forward to seeing it. If 
you need help with anything, feel free to drop us an email.

Awesome!  If you want we can post a brief on the blog so people from
the area interested in Guix get another incentive to go to SeaGL.  :-)

Hey this is great news!  I've been to SeaGL before and it was great.

Enjoy your talk!  I'm sure it'll go great.

Awesome! I've never had a reason to go to SeaGL before,
but you just gave me one for this year.

See you there!

If that's OK, I think it would be great!  Would you like me to draft the
blog post?  If so, can it basically be the same abstract with a link to
the SeaGL website, or should it be something more substantive?

It's a fun event.  There are a variety of interesting talks and events,
so be sure to check out the rest of the schedule, too:

https://osem.seagl.org/conferences/seagl2018/schedule

It's also nice just to mingle with the other Seattle locals who are
involved in the GNU/Linux and free software community.

I look forward to meeting you there!

I think a title, abstract, and link to the SeaGL web site would be
enough.  It’d be great if you could commit this to guix-artwork.git, and
then I can take care of putting it on line.

Thank you!

Sounds good!  I've committed an announcement in commit
bfe3af6a197f0f7363f444ea79ea63e5af6f6e39 in guix-artwork.git.  Please
check it and, if it looks good to you, publish it.

Thank you for offering to announce my talk on the blog!  I hope we can
get more people interested in Guix in the Seattle area.  I know some
people who use Nix or NixOS, but so far I haven't met anyone who's heard
of Guix.  I aim to change that!
