A list of proposed talks for a GNU Guile/Guix track @FOSDEM 2016
A friendly introduction to GNU Guile and GNU Guix
by Ricardo Wurmus
Paving a path to greater network freedom
by Christopher Allan Webber
How can Guix and Guile participate in increasing network freedom? Discussions include leveraging Guix to make server deployment and maintainance a better experience, as well as ideas in how Guile could provide leadership in web development and federation.
The Guile community we could have (Or: solving Worse is More Accessible)
by Christopher Allan Webber
Expanding on this email, an exploration of how we could grow Guile into a more diverse community while leveraging its existing strengths. Examinations will be made of what has and hasn't worked for similar language and programming communities.
Latest Guile developments
by Andy Wingo
Latest GNU Guix developments
by Ludovic Courtès
GNU Guix is the package manager for the GNU project. It is based on Guile and in this talk I am going to
present gexps and related APIs
Adding GNU/Hurd support to GNU Guix
by Manolis Ragkousis
GNU Guix can successfully cross-build any package for the Hurd and produce the bootstrap-tarballs to build packages with Guix natively on such a system.
Adding Python and Ruby support to GNU Guix
by Dave Thompson & Pjotr Prins
We added support for Python and Ruby packages to GNU Guix. We think the process of adding them is interesting for others who would like to support their language and or software stack.
GNUNet publishing of Guix using Guile
by Remy
As a GSoC project GNUNet support was added.
Adding reproducible bioinformatics pipeline support to GNU Guix
by Ricardo Wurmus & Pjotr Prins
Bioinformatics requires rapid turn around times in software packaging. This leads to many ad hoc installations which lead to hard to maintain systems and little chance of reproducibility. In this talk we will discuss software dependency graphs and explain why GNU Guix lends itself to deploying reproducible bioninformatics pipelines.
