Thank you for your leadership Ludo

Thank you for your leadership Ludo

[Joshua Branson]

Hey Ludo!

I have been hanging out in #guix recently, and I have submitted a few
guix bug reports (not many). I just wanted to thank you for the
community that you have built with Guix. I have done some minor
volunteer work with other free software projects, but those other free
software projects did not have Guix's incredible community. It is
incredibly nice to feel like I can help Guix, even when it is sparingly.

I also want to thank the other /incredibly/ dedicated Guix maintainers.
Thanks for all that you do!

Thanks again,

Joshua

P.S.  I hope this is not consider off topic.  I just recently read the
first few chapters of "How to Win friends and Influence People".  It
recommended giving out lots of compliments.  I thought that I would
try it.

Hi! I found here in Guix not only the idea that implements
- free software
- reproducible builds,
- better control over system
- and something for the 5th industrial revolution

but also community and relations with the other projects.

Guix uses sources from the different original places (from the maintainers).
Guix connects to the reproducible builds and to the Translation project.
Guix uses gnu servers and based on GNU community.
This is infrastructure that is provided by GNU and Guix move it forward
creating new opportunities for users' new horizons.

And the word free is not only 'name' of all this work but OS Guix 
essential feature.

That is why I like it.

Thanks for the kind words.  Each one of us contributes to the pleasant
atmosphere on the project’s channels, so we’re all to be thanked!

Now I wonder how you’re going to try to influence me.  ;-)

The Guix community is very inclusive and friendly. A lot of thanks is
indeed due to Ludo for setting a good example! :-)

I often feel similarly wary when thanking the Guix community or indeed
any other free software community. :-P But, I think smiles, thanks and
gratitude go a long way in making free software communities a friendly
place to work in. The Guix community is a great example of this. We
should promote such a culture in all our free software projects.
