If we can afford it and people are interested in volunteering for the 
booth (and give submit a talk) why not.

If we just have *something* to show I guess we there should not to much 
of a hassle to have a conversation about Guix from that point on. In 
general I guess to be present at a conference like Capitole du Libre 
could be a great place to spread knowledge and interest about Guix, 
computational science etc.

Think if we had something like a booklet about Guix we could give out to 
participants at events like this that could be great I think...
