Come speak at the Guix Social meetup

Come speak at the Guix Social meetup

[Steve George]

Hi,

We're looking for speakers - of any level - to give talks at the Guix online meetup. We're a small, friendly group at all levels of experience. Talks can be about anything Guix associated, for example:

- Experiences using or learning Guix
- Particular commands or capabilities - deploying VM's, building a desktop etc
- Using the declarative configuration approach 
- Packaging or creating system services
- Something mad, interesting or curious!

Whatever it is, we'd love to hear it! 

We've had recent talks by Ludo [0] and David Wilson (System crafters) [1]. We have an upcoming talk on June 18th by David Thompson [2] who will be talking about Guile, Guix and his work on Guile Hoot. And, on July 11th Vagrant Cascadian will be talking about reproducibility and Guix. After that ...

Just to repeat - talks can be any length (10-20-45 mins), and at any level :-)

Thanks,

Steve / Futurile

That's my personal website. It's not affiliated with Guix Social.

See https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Group:Guix/PatchReviewSessions2024
for the links to register for the Guix Social meetups.

I built a home service for systemd. It is currently unpublished, but I could demo it, and publish the WIP version.

Not sure if there's enough interest in this to warrant a talk, systemd is not packaged for Guix (and quite possibly never will be). This would only be of interest for users of Guix Home on a foreign distro who, for some reason or another, want to use systemd units instead of shepherd / mcron.

I could talk about the bootstrapping in riscv, maybe it's too technical 
or idk...

If you want, I'm open to do it!

Thanks for organizing these talks, they are very interesting.

Cheers,

I'd /definitely/ find that talk interesting! Hope it happens and I can
make it.

Hello!

I can give an online talk about Guile-SSH[1] as it is used by GNU Guix,
if you're interested.

Although I have never done any talks in English, I think it'll be an
interesting experience.

That’s a great initiative!  It would probably make sense to advertise it
on guix.gnu.org, perhaps starting with a blog post, and then maybe
adding videos to the “Media” section?

Thanks for organizing this!
