Hello guix,
We have some news about GSoC, the community is accepting a new intern,
Sarthak. The agreed on internship project title is Parameterized Packages
for GNU Guix. Welcome on board, and we are looking forward to working
together.
As there was quite a lot of competition for places this year we only got
one internship slot assigned, but we are encouraging all prospective
interns to stay around, and try again in the next round. The distributed
substitutes proposals are still on the radar, and it would be nice to keep
interested people around.
Regards,
g_bor

Hello Guix,
Thanks for having me onboard!
I hope that my project will prove useful to Guix.
My project is about implementing Parameterized Packages, which will add
optional Gentoo USE flag-like functionality to Guix packages. This will not
only help reduce package size but also provide users with greater choice
with how they'd like to use their packages. I believe that this should also
help somewhat relieve the issue of the denseness of guix's dependency
graphs, which was recently being discussed here on the mailing list.
Due to the nature of this project, it will involve taking a lot of inputs
from the Guix community, and thus you can expect a regular thread or two
with updates/feature discussions on this topic in the mailing list.
Once again, thank you for this wonderful opportunity!
Sincerely,
Sarthak (cel7t)

Well, I do not know if pointing past discussions is helpful. Bah, just
in case. ;-) In addition to [1],

Indeed! Like you write, there’s a lot of potential with parameterized
packages, and I’m confident you can make great strides in this area.
Oh, and ‘--with-configure-flags’ is already a success among HPC people
I’ve talked to! :-)
Cheers,
Ludo’.

Welcome! One of the things I enjoy most about the Guix community is how
lively it is. I'd recommend the #guix IRC channel on the libera.chat
server if you haven't already, where more than 400 people regularly
discuss and try to help each others.
I wish you the best of luck in your project, and most importantly, to
have fun doing it!

Thanks,
Maxim
