Hello Guix!

This year marks the tenth anniversary of Guix; what if we used that as a
pretext to join forces and organize “special events” throughout the
year?  Obviously the Guix Days are already a great start!

Things that come to mind:

  • Install parties.  After the upcoming release, interested folks could
    team up with their local GNU/Linux user groups, or with colleagues,
    friends, enthusiasts to organize install parties.  We could collect
    those events on a web page.  That’s a great way to connect people,
    to debunk fears and myths, and also to get invaluable feedback that
    will allow us to improve the installation process.

  • Talks.  Presenting Guix to an audience who doesn’t know about it:
    could be again your local GNU/Linux user group, colleagues, sysadmin
    or techie conferences, scientific conferences, etc.  There are many
    people here who could do a great job at introducing Guix and sharing
    their own experience!

  • Articles.  Get an introductory article in your local GNU/Linux or
    sysadmin magazine or in some on-line magazine or specialized
    journal!

  • Hackathons.  Organizing hackathons focused on specific topics: again
    it could be local hackathons focused on getting software your
    organization or friends need packaged for Guix, it could be on-line
    hackathon focused on core features, Software Heritage and Disarchive
    integration, scientific workflows, documentation (like the recent
    meetups jgart & Julien organized!), translation, etc.

  • Sharing enthusiasm, freedom, and collective work!  :-)

Icing on the cake if Luis, Ricardo, and other artists among us come up
with some sort of a birthday logo, music, and whatnot!

What do people think?

Ludo’.
