With less than 12 hours for GNU to submit ideas for this year's Gsoc, I am
wondering if porting guix to hurd and creating a guix hurd system, which I
am currently working on, is worthy for a Gsoc idea. I am an eligible
student, so that could be great!

I haven't followed the GSoC discussions, so please excuse the dumb 
question: is this the Google deadline, or just an 'internal' GNU deadline ?

That is definitely something I'd like to see for GSoC, but I don't think 
I qualify as a mentor. Who would be willing to do this ?

Cyril.

The goal is definitely interesting. However, I am not sure what there is
to do now except for packaging the hurd. As long as we do not have a running
system, what do we do with the kernel? Or would there be enough interesting
work in creating a hurd qemu image?

The things to do would be packaging Mach/Hurd/MiG/libc, adjusting
cross-base.scm to allow cross-compilation to GNU/Hurd,
cross-bootstrapping, adjusting ‘glibc’ in base.scm, and then working
towards a GNU VM image (or non VM) based on (gnu system) stuff.

I think it’s OK as a GSoC project.

Hi list,

Having used Emacs for 4 years, I am a Chinese student and an Emacs
developer.  I'd like to work on Guix under the GNU umbrella for GSoC
2014, especially this project:

  * Package management from Emacs
    The goal of this project is to write a complete package management
    user interface for use in GNU Emacs. The UI would provide the same
    functionality as the `guix package' command, but using an interface
    similar to that of package.el.

I have write access to Emacs repo, so it isn't hard for me to add this
package to GNU ELPA or Emacs proper.

I'm not quite familiar with Scheme/Guix (yet), but I like them and am
willing to learn.  Currently, I'm learning Geiser and reading
README/HACKING/ROADMAP/TODO/guix.texi now.

Sounds great!  I remember you showed interest last year.  Yagnesh
Raghava Yakkala wrote a few days ago saying they’d be interested too.

Are you applying for other projects as well for this year?

Please familiarize yourself with the tools, and report any issues or
questions you may have.  It would be great also to start discussing more
precisely what the UI should look like, and sketch a road map.

Also make sure to come on #guix to discuss!

Thanks,
Ludo’.

Hi Ludovic,

I'm also interested in the emacs-xwidget project, but my to be honest,
my C level isn't high.  I'm not sure if I'm competent at that job.

OK, I will.
