I don't know if is it OK to be telling you what I am/ I've been doing these days, I kind of like doing so to have feedback, and also to let you know I installed guix on a VM with an Ubuntu distro and it worked fine - i ran some basic commands. I am trying to install GuixSD over that VM too and on bare metal - don't know if this two steps are necessary, but looking at the tasks for Outreachy one items says that I will be doing documentation for it. I also read the tutorial in http://guix-hpc-bordeaux.inria.fr, the documentation about defining packages - I am in process of studying how to do so. And I have the following questions: 1) should I write, at least for myself, the problems I've been encountering in the whole process of doing everything? 2) When a suggestion for a contribution is writing an R package, you mean the R programming language? Regards!
