I'm a bit surprised by the need of a news entry for this; I'd typically
consider only news that impact users, or at least the software that Guix
constitutes, as news worthy :-).  I wouldn't like the news channel to
become some place where more "random" things get advertised, such as
venues and what not.

I'd prefer if this was kept to other communication channels, suchas the
help-guix mailing list or the #guix IRC channel.

My 2 cents!
