Hi Mathieu,

You can submit to both devrooms. As a coordinator of the minimalistic
devroom I think your talk fits. Mind, it still needs to go through the
review of the devroom to get selected. But yes, Guix represents
minimalism to me even though we still need to work to make it really
suitable for embedded systems (like routers).
