Hello Veera,

Veera <vkor@vkten.in> ezt =C3=ADrta (id=C5=91pont: 2020. m=C3=A1rc. 7., Sz= o 16:05):
Hi,

I am R Veera Kumar from India. I have been selected as Outreachy applicant<= br> for May 2020 round.
Nice to s= ee you around.

I like to work with Danny Milosavljevic, the mentor of the project:
=C2=A0Guix Integration of desktop environments into GNU Guix

I am a self taught computer and software user. I am a Linux user for 15 yea= rs.
I have used Redhat, Fedora, Debian and others. I have built Linuxfromscratc= h
and Beyond LFS and used them for a custom distro for myself. I know some C,=
Shell, awk, Perl, Python, Lua and basic system administration.
That is impressive. It looks like we can = also learn from you.

I have heard about Guix from news and have checked about it a little before= .
I do not know Scheme/Guile Language.
This is not a problem. I believe it can be picked up easily. This= won't be the biggest burden in the project.

How do I get started?
What contributions can I make?

To get started you should install guix. For t= his project it might make sense to install guix system also. You should als= o set up a guix development environment, by checking out the source code, a= nd building it.

=
The usual first time contribution we recommend is to pack= age an R package from cran that has all its dependencies in guix using the = importer.

You can also c= heck out=C2=A0http://issues.gui= x.gnu.org/easy and work on some easy bugs.

Thanks,
