Lightning talk at Dconf

Lightning talk at Dconf

[Pjotr Prins]

I am giving a lightning talk about GNU Guix at Dconf (Berlin, May 4-6):

  http://dconf.org/2016/schedule/

As is the case with most programming languages, D is struggling with a
packaging system (dub, see http://code.dlang.org/) and I want to
explain why a simple $HOME packaging system will do fine when more
complex deployments are handled by GNU Guix. In other words, keep it
simple and leave the complex stuff to Guix.

There is also a Birds of a Feather session on 'Building and Packaging
Systems'

What language will it be in?
Any chance it'll be recorded?

Keep us updated!

Neat!  Make sure to spread the word on the perils of the proliferation
of language-specific package managers, among other things.  ;-)
