Thanks for your interest!
Currently, there is no such stories, AFAIK. We discussed something
like that when releasing v1.2 but we had not been able to make it.
Well, if you are French speaker, a two mornings* workshop is in the
pipe. The announce should come really soon. The idea is sharing
feedback with other users from sysadmin to researcher.
*morning in metropolitan France meaning. :-)

You mean to run "bundles" on computers that do not have Guix installed, right?
Well, the answer "qui peut le plus peut le moins" is maybe not
satisfactoring... if you have the choice to do it, you should. Even,
if you have the choice to install Guix (the package manager), you also
should.
Cheers,
simon
