Subject: good overview presentation?
Date: Thu, 9 May 2019 11:04:42 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4009641b-f771-1095-435b-80aed6c279c6@meetinghouse.net> (raw)

Hi Folks,

Is there a good, current, overview presentation on all things GUIX?  The 
whole who, what, where, when, why, how, how much, and who cares overview 
that one might give at USENIX, describing a new distro.

I've been doing a lot of googling, and not finding anything remotely 
current.  Lots of stuff on detailed aspects, some videos (but no slides) 
from FOSDEM 2019 - but nothing that gives the big picture, the overall 
architecture, the build process, and so forth.

It seems like the release of v1.0.0 merits a serious 
intro/overview/tutorial for those of us who might be interested in 
exploring/adopting GUIX.

If there's such a beast floating around, could someone point me at it 
(and maybe add a prominent link at https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/).

If not... a polite suggestion to the team:  Nobody else can put 
something together, it's all too new, and you're the only folks who have 
the big picture.  Please share!

Miles Fidelman
