Hi all, Everyone has noticed that I am kind of quiet on the IRC channel. The reason for that, and the reason that I haven't been sending updates is that my current situation is not giving me enough time to work on this project.
I know that I promised in the application that I will give my best to this project. At that point in time, it was true. Now, because of some personal/family reasons, I am unable to honor this commitment. It would be worse for both the community and me if I kept dragging this on for longer. So, with great regret and guilt, I wish to quit on this GSoC project. I could do a shoddy job and stay on the project, but the community deserves a better effort than that. The entire community at Guix has been so great to me and I would feel like I am exploiting that niceness for the stipend and I do not wish to do so. I know I took the opportunity away from someone who would have been more committed and right now I can not do anything but apologize for that. I knew this project would be tough on me, due to my lack of sufficient exposure to Scheme and due to the complexities involved, but at the time of writing the proposal I sincerely thought that I would be able to do it with a commitment of 40 hours a week. I didn't intend to deceive anyone. I tried really hard to put in more hours but the last week showed me that it was difficult. However, this is not the last you will see of me. While I might not be able to spend 40 hours a week as expected, I will spend some time every week working on this project because I like it and I hope to produce something of value to the community. I already sent out a personal mail to my mentors a few days ago. I wanted to let the community know too. Sorry, uniq10
