Hello!

Last year we had an =E2=80=9Con-line hackathon=E2=80=9D to celebrate GNU=E2= =80=99s 30th
birthday=C2=B9.=C2=A0 While discussing on IRC, it seemed a good idea to sim= ilarly
celebrate GNU=E2=80=99s 31st birthday, on the 27th and 28th of September.
Tasks would include helping newcomers, packaging (see
<http://libreplanet.org/wiki/Group:Guix/Wishlist>), improving = the
operating system notably by adding new service definitions, hacking dmd, fixing bugs, etc.

This should be accessible to anyone with experience with GNU/Linux
packages.=C2=A0 People with experience in Guile Scheme would find additiona= l
things to work on, such as =E2=80=98guix import=E2=80=99 to import package = definitions
>From other systems (PyPi, configure.ac, etc.), making =E2=80=98guix refresh=E2=80=99
work for non-GNU packages, etc.

How does that sound?=C2=A0 Perhaps we should setup a wiki page on
libreplanet.org to= collect ideas and a list of interested people?

Ludo=E2=80=99.

PS: The few of us living in Bordeaux may gather together somewhere.
