Hello Ashvith,

The GSoC program you're considering was only a proposal, and I'm not sure if it was an accepted one. Pjotr can say more about that.

I recently began a thread on a Guile-based build system, you can look through that and ask if anything's needed.

Regards,

Hello folks,

I would love to take part in the next GSoC/Outreachy with Guix as my
organisation of choice. I have contributed to Guix before, and
participated in the unofficial matrix channel.

I am a little worried about the difficulty and the scope of the
project topic of some of the projects mentioned in LibrePlanet, and I
would like to start with something that is a bit easier to work and
understand, before the start of the program to evaluate the
difficulty, learn and get used to the workflow for the internal
components.

Right now, I have my interest in "Guile based build-tool for Guix",
and I've also come across examples like Bespoke and potato-make.
Honestly, I don't know much about build-system, so I would love to
understand how and what are the prerequisite skills that would enable
me to be able to successfully complete the program.

Ashvith
