We have a number of Outreachy projects that internship candidates should be able to see on the Outreachy website. It=E2=80=99s separate from GSoC and opera= tes under different rules and guidelines. However, that page is a good source of ideas for Outreachy *mentors* in future internship rounds. Hi Luta, welcome to Guix! Independent of the internship project you end up choosing I recommend starting by installing Guix (as a package manager) using the installer script at https://guix.gnu.org/install.sh and familiarizing yourself with it e.g. by installing a package. Once you=E2=80=99re comfortable with the features Guix offers I suggest looking = at the Contributing section in the manual to set up an environment to make your first contribution to Guix. Be sure to ask for help on #guix whenever you feel something isn=E2=80=99t = quite clear. At this point you really can=E2=80=99t go wrong by asking for help. Getting started is the most important part and often the most difficult hurdle, so we=E2=80=99d like to help you overcome it as quickly as possible. --=20 Ricardo
