Expressing my interest for participation in fellowship-like programs

Expressing my interest for participation in fellowship-like programs

[Ashvith Shetty]

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.

Regards,
Ashvith

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,
