Thanks for taking care about that.

It could be nice to publish this bog soon.  Is it doable?

Hi - initial draft of the post went to Ludo today for review (and commit 
as I don't have the rights). We'll see what his reaction is to my 
British English and random punctuation! ;-)

Thanks,

Steve

Cool!  Thank you.

For the next time, in order to avoid to put too much on Ludo’s plate, we
have a dedicated email guix-blog@gnu.org.  The emails there are private
and 2-3 people are behind the list.

For example, the recent post [1] had been sent there then a round of
“review“ (mainly typo and links), and published. :-)

Hi Steve,

It would also be nice to write a BLOG about what was discussed at Guix
days and FOSDEM. That way we get a historical record. If you take the
lead we can collect the notes that were made and write a concise
overview of each discussion. I am sure people are happy to help. That
an idea?

Hi Pjotr,

I have notes about what sessions took place during the Guix days.
I was planning to send (tomorrow?) a patch for the Guix Foundation website
to make it available, like "GNU Guix Days FOSDEM 2023" [1].

[1]: https://foundation.guix.info/events/index.html

I don’t know if it’s the right place to put notes about the content,
though? 🤔

That is great. We can link out to notes hosted elsewhere.

Ludo said they put them into this repo:

https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix/maintenance.git/tree/doc/guix-days-2024

Do you have access to this? (I do not).

We can ask people on the channel / this list to put their notes - or 
integrate their notes into the existing ones there (as it's a shared 
endeavour).

Does that work?

Steve

No. I mean, I can read it, but that’s it.

+1!

Mine will require a lot of "integration", though! 😅

Hi,

Sounds good.

A blog post for the main Guix web site, with links to the detailed notes 
that were collected.

Ludo told me the raw notes are being collected here:

https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix/maintenance.git/tree/doc/guix-days-2024

Thanks,

Steve

Hi,

Did anyone take a photo of the discussion whiteboard?

And/or anyone get a photo of the room generally that could be used in 
the blog post? Be nice to have a visual ...

Steve
ps I will check with each person in any photo that they don't object to 
it being posted
