I agree!  As part of the Guix-HPC effort, Ricardo Wurmus and myself ga= ve
a talk about Guix a couple of years ago at CERN, but CERN is vast and
the people we met are perhaps far away from those mentioned above.

If anyone has contact with folks at CERN, we can surely have a
discussion.  :-)

Thanks for the heads-up,
