I think the "easiest" way to go about is going from analyzing a software system to designing a new component in the system to implementing the design. I guess its scope is pretty much like a GSoC project. > It would be best if you could familiarize yourself with Guix{,SD} and > the associated tools and APIs.

I've run into some problems with the combination Fedora + Guix, so I still have to get a working Guix setup before I can test my package expression. > Once that is defined, we could probably find a mentor, preferably not me. > > WDYT? I received an interesting opportunity from Pjotr Prins, which is about reproducible bioinformatics pipelines. I'm in the process of formulating an assignment proposal. > Thanks, > Ludo’.
