Video of Talk: "Everyday Use of GNU Guix"

Hi Guix!

As previously announced [1], on November 10th I gave a talk at SeaGL [2]
titled "Everyday Use of GNU Guix" [3].

I've made a recording of the talk available here:

https://media.marusich.info/everyday-use-of-gnu-guix-chris-marusich-seagl-2018.webm

I've just uploaded it, so if for some reason that link doesn't work,
please try this secondary link instead:

https://d2gz0c5j1goskf.cloudfront.net/everyday-use-of-gnu-guix-chris-marusich-seagl-2018.webm

The talk went even better than I expected!  There were about 25 - 30
people in the audience.  They all seemed very interested, and they asked
good questions.  It was great to meet other free software supporters in
my local community and introduce Guix to them.  With a bit of luck,
there will soon be more people using Guix in the Seattle area!

The presentation itself is, as mentioned in the video, available in
Guix's maintenance.git Git repository.  Both the video and the
presentation itself are licensed under CC-BY-SA 4.0, so please feel free
to share and remix it!

I really enjoyed giving the presentation.  I hope you enjoy watching it!

Nice job!  Also, good job bringing swag with you. That's the element I
always forget about when I give a talk.  People always want stickers!

Nice talk!  I like the example you gave with GNU Hello, which
illustrates very well how we can put software into the hands of users
and make software freedom more practical.  Also great that you managed
to cover all these topics!

Would you like to add it under
<https://gnu.org/software/guix/blog/tags/talks/>?  We could also arrange
to have a copy of the video on audio-video.gnu.org if someone remembers
how to get that done (Mark?).

Thanks,
Ludo’.

I copied the video to audio-video.gnu.org.  It's now available here:

Yes, I second that.  I enjoyed the recorded talk a lot and especially
liked your Hello world/Hey there edit; showing how free software and
guix go hand in hand to empower you.

My pleasure!  Hopefully it will help more people to learn about Guix.

My hope was that by demonstrating various scenarios, or use cases, it
would show viewers more concretely and more convincingly how Guix can
help them.  A good demonstration can be better than an explanation.

On a related note, I'm excited about Laura Lazzati's Outreachy project
to create video documentation, since I'm sure there are many, many more
scenarios that can be effectively demonstrated through short videos!
Laura, I'm cheering you on!  :-)

Thank you, Mark.  Actually, I submitted a request to have the video
added, so I suppose we can resolve that now:

https://savannah.gnu.org/task/index.php?15102

However, I don't actually know how to resolve it.  Do you?

Too true!  The stickers were nice, but actually the reference cards were
even more popular.  I printed a few dozen copies on paper vellum, and
most of them were gone when I left the room.  Thank you, Ludo, for
creating the reference card just in time for my talk!  ;-)

Thanks indeed, that was fast!

Chris, if you want you can push a .md file to guix-artwork.git with a
link to the video (for example similar to
<https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/blog/2017/back-from-fosdem-2017/>)
and I can do the CVS dance to upload it if you want.  :-)

Ah ah, fun!  We should bring some of these at FOSDEM.

Thanks,
Ludo’.

Sounds good!  I'll let you know once I've done that.

I've added a small retrospective post in guix-artwork, commit
4ba6b7c042ff04c89ffdd6d5b7ba91f620f40d44.  I've verified it looks good,
and the links are correct, on my local machine.  (The link to the PDF
didn't work locally, but I think it will work when published.)  Could
you check it, and then do the CVS dance if it looks good to you?

Also, I used my media.marusich.info link instead of the GNU Audio Visual
link, mainly because I wanted to make the slides easily available (I
couldn't find a direct link that worked for maintenance.git) in addition
to the video, and at the same time I also thought it might be nice to
save the GNU project a little bandwidth.  If you'd prefer to use the GNU
Audio Visual link, please change it or let me know so I can change it.

Coincidentally, this is the first time I've written a blog post using
sxml.  It's quite slick!

Hopefully by this time next year, we'll have more Guix users in Seattle!

I pushed it on-line yesterday I think.  Thank you!

there is still an open task for this on savannah - should the task be
marked as "completed"?

I cannot find a meta-page describing the upload. That would be good for
long-term retrieval and for the license of the file. I added a comment
to the ticket.
