Thanks for the offer! I hope we can have an in-person event sometime this year in Europe (and hopefully others can organize similar events on other continents). Ludo’.

Obviously the Guix Days are already a great start! Good idea! Perhaps we could sprinkle ad-hoc presentations on topics of interest throughout the year. I'm not that much of a presentation person, but it seems it'd liven the year which will probably see us more contained than we'd like. Maxim
Re: Celebrating ten years of Guix
I still remember sending my first patch in 2014 and the happiness of getting it accepted. I am using Guix everywhere and has made my life so much simpler to experiment with things. I love the Guix Community! Looking forward to another 10 year and beyond :D On 1/15/22 06:52, Pjotr Prins wrote: On Wed, Jan 12, 2022 at 03:27:32PM +0100, Ludovic Courtès wrote: Hello Guix!

Great idea. In 2014 I watched your first presentation of Guix at FOSDEM. I was sold on the spot! We use Guix containers and services through all our deployments - it is a massive success story. https://guix.gnu.org/guix-fosdem-20140201.pdf Onwards and upwards! Pj.

Hello Ludo, If it helps, feel free to use HSBXL in Belgium as a node. => hsbxl.be/ While not a spacious or plush as the Guix Days location, it has ClubMate and better ICT support. I can be onsite 24/7 whenever you need access.

Celebrating ten years of Guix
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’.
