A good way to get started is of course to start using Guix(SD), and then to contribute new packages. The =E2=80=9CDefining Packages=E2=80=9D sectio= n of the manual should help get you started, and then people on #guix on IRC and on the help-guix@gnu.org mailing list will be happy to help. Our bug tracker at has some items explicitly marked as =E2=80=9Ceasy=E2=80=9D (though probably too few of them), which y= ou might later want to look at. Welcome, and happy hacking! :-) Ludo=E2=80=99.
