you should have a means of running Guix, and so that your store gets populated with recent basic things, I would also suggest to run a "guix pull". It can be a virtual machine, a full Guix system, or simply a "foreign" distribution with Guix as a package manager. (I am not sure what you mean by "is installed"; I do not think Steve plans to install a machine shared between the participants, please bring your own!) Then you should clone the git repository as the basis to apply patches, as explained here: https://guix.gnu.org/en/manual/devel/en/html_node/Contributing.html I think reading the first two subsections 22.1 and 22.2 is enough to get started. Notice that building Guix takes a rather long time; on my oldish laptop with two cores, about half an hour. So this should be done before. Looking forward to tomorrow, Andreas
