If you can pop in for a few hours, I'll try and organise a gathering with which we can continue later. Is that an option? Or if you come by say 3pm? At worst you end up with me, but I expect more interest. I'll see if we can get interested parties on the group list this week. Pj.

Since it's a Wednesday, I'll be working at the FSF office during the day. Does the hackathon continue into the night? If I can be useful, I can try to join in after work. -- David Thompson Web Developer - Free Software Foundation - http://fsf.org GPG Key: 0FF1D807 Support the FSF: https://fsf.org/donate

Mostly .deb, homebrew and ad hoc scripts. I have been a Nix fan for a long time and I think Guix is just the right way forward (Nix expressions are somehow a little too foreign for many people, I have found). It would make sense to move some of the Cloudbiolinux related packaging to Guix. There will be quite a few good people who are working on software deployment, so please hop over if you can! There are 50-60 programmers coming to the hackathon. Pj.
