GNU Guix is growing rapidly and has gone from a software packaging system to a full tool stack aimed at reproducible software deployment and development.
GNU Guix is a toolkit that allows developers to integrate reproducible software deployment into their applications—as opposed to leaving it up to the user. GNU Guix is based on the GNU Guile programming language which makes it a very versatile and hackable (in the good sense) environment.
When?
Thursday, February 1st and February 2nd 2024, the two days before FOSDEM
The ICAB is unfortunately not well suited for wheelchairs as there are many steps between rooms.
Programme
We will have some talks in the morning and hacking and discussions the rest of the day. Two days of GNU Guix bliss.
The event targets an audience of Guix developers and users.
In pure “unconference” style, the program will be made by participants as we go, with hands-on sessions organized in sub-groups. Possible session topics:
GNU Guix status update & road map
GNU Guix online documentation
Alternative target architectures (ARM, RISCV, POWER etc.)
Sustaining our infrastructure: planning to keep qa.guix, data.guix, ci.guix, etc. afloat
Spritely, Guix, and Guile—the amazing trio!
Next steps for GSoC paramaterized packages
Re-imagining the Guix CLI, now with actual forethought and consistency!
Add your own topics above!
