Hi Larissa,

welcome to Guix!

I'm putting the other Mentors/Coordinators and the developer list on
CC. Please answer to the mailing list, so others can help you out too.

That sounds great. The first step would be to get familiar with Guix
and to make a contribution, that you can formally declare on the
Outreachy website.

To contribute, you can either prepare a package or update
documentation, though we would recommend packaging to get first
familiar with the system.

So your first step would be to install Guix or GuixSD and get into
it. You can either install Guix on top of another distro or you can
install GuixSD, the GNU/Linux-Distribution alone, either in a virtual
machine or a standalone hardware.

I think there is a link for both types from the Guix Outreachy site. I
will post them here too:

https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/en/html_node/Binary-Installation.html#Binary-Installation

https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/en/html_node/System-Installation.html#System-Installation

You can pack whatever software you like and is missing in Guix, though
it could get hard depending on your choice :-) So in general for a
beginner are R-packages recommended, we have also importers for that.


If you have any questions, ask on the mailing list or on IRC. The
community is very welcoming and willing to help.

Yours,

Björn
