I guess I could talk about freedom problems with the Java culture of never building software recursively from source, and introduce how we’re approaching this problem in Guix. The Java bootstrap could also be demonstrated in that talk. (Does anyone know how this is done in Debian? Do they actually build all of their Java packages from source?) -- Ricardo GPG: BCA6 89B6 3655 3801 C3C6 2150 197A 5888 235F ACAC https://elephly.net
