Hello Lisa,

Welcome!
Nice that you are interested in Guix.

Are you currently running Guix on your machine ?

The easiest is to start with the package manager [1] using the shell
script installer (first Red note in [1] :-)).  The package manager
works on any GNU/linux distribution and is not in conflict with the
distro package manager.  Do not hesitate to ask on help-guix@gnu.org
or #guix if you hit any problem, the Guix folks are prompt for
answering. :-)  Once you can run "guix <command>" [2], you can read
how to define a package [3].  BTW, give a look to the Perfect Setup
[4] and here [5] my config files if you need inspiration. ;-)

Well, if you have already used --- or currently using --- you can try
"guix import" or "guix refresh"; i.e., write your first package
contribution.  Therefore, you need to read [6].  Again, do not
hesitate to ask on help-guix@gnu.org or #guix if you hit any problem.

Introduction

Hi all,

I just joined this mailing list so here is a little introduction.

I am software developer by trade and a long time Linux user.
I have used many GNU/Linux distributions over the years and I currently
maintain a few packages on Fedora Linux (Java/Clojure stuff).

I use GNU Guix mostly on a foreign distribution for development work
(the guix shell is awesome!). I am also experimenting running it on
servers and virtual machines so hopefully I will be able to migrate
some servers to GNU Guix System soon. I have packaged some FOSS
software for Guix, I look forward to submitting them soon.

Best regards,
Markku

Sounds good!  I look forward to seeing these first contributions of
yours.

Happy hacking,
