This was huge. We had an amazing day with ~25 GNU Guix contributors and the father and project leaders of Nix, and it blew me away how much Guix has progressed in the last year and what interesting discussions that led to. I think the next phase we are moving beyond a 'standard' package manager with optimized builds, channels, workflows, provision and orchestration. All logical next steps because Guix is such a solid foundation :). FOSDEM was great too. It was busier than ever, but the crowd appears to be increasingly experienced too. In other words the FOSS community appears to be growing and feels very very solid! I thank everyone for joining, especially when you realise how much most of us had to travel. I, for one, feel very inspired! Pj.
