Hi everyone,
Hello! I'm interested in contributing to the GNU Guix project through the
Google Summer of Code program.
My programming expertise mainly lies with Scheme, Common Lisp, Clojure and
C/C++, but I can also write code in other languages when needed.
Additionally, I have some experience as a system administrator of my
university's HPC system.
I am also the president of my college's equivalent of a GNU/Linux advocacy
group, through which I have organized and facilitated GNU/Linux
installation workshops to introduce my classmates and juniors to free
software.
I would love to work on a project utilizing GNU Guile if possible.
Of the projects listed on the website
<https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Group:Guix/GSoC-2023>, I found the following
interesting:
- Continued Rewrite of the Build Daemon in Guile
<https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Group:Guix/GSoC-2018#Continue_rewrite_build_daemon_in_Guile_Scheme>
(Mentors
mentioned: Ludovic (+ David, +...?))
(If I understand correctly, this will be a continuation of reepca's work
in 2017
<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2017-08/msg00267.html>)
- Guile-based build tool
<https://libreplanet.org/wiki?title=Group:Guix/GSoC-2020#Guile_based_build-tool>
(Mentors
mentioned: Pjotr Prins and other Guix members)
- Guix Data Service revision processing instrumentation and performance
<https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Group:Guix/GSoC-2021#Project:_Guix_Data_Service_revision_processing_instrumentation_and_performance>
(Mentors
mentioned: Christopher Baines & Gábor Boskovits)
I understand that the mentors listed here may not necessarily be free to
mentor this year, however I would really appreciate getting to work on any
of these projects.
Apart from the listed projects, I'm also interested in having parameterized
packages
<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2020-11/msg00312.html> in
Guix.
Unlike most package managers, Guix is source-based and I believe that
parametrized packages would be a fine way to use that to Guix's advantage.
It's tradition for potential GSoC participants to help resolve issues
before applying in preparation for the actual task, so I would appreciate
suggestions on problems I could help with.
Additionally, a rough timeline of when I'd be expected to submit a draft
proposal would be appreciated.
Happy Hacking!
