This page is for tracking anything related with the 2020 GNU Guix/Guile conference and hackathon on Jan. 30st and 31st—right before FOSDEM2020 and the minimalistic language devroom.

GNU Guix Days

Annual GNU Guix (un)conference. This event is a FOSDEM 2020 fringe event.

Why?

GNU Guix is growing rapidly and has gone from a software packaging system to a full tool stack aimed at reproducible software deployment and development. GNU Guix is a toolkit that allows developers to integrate reproducible software deployment into their applications—as opposed to leaving it up to the user. GNU Guix is based on the GNU Guile programming language which makes it a very versatile and hackable (in the good sense) environment.

When?

Thursday 30st and Friday 31st of January, 2020, the two days before FOSDEM.

Coffee at 9:30AM, and starting at 10AM.

Where?

Institute of Cultural Affairs (ICAB) Rue Amedee Lynen 8 1210 Brussels (map), Belgium.

Programme

We will have some talks in the morning and hacking and discussions the rest of the day. Two days of GNU Guix bliss.

The event targets an audience of Guix developers and users.

In pure “unconference” style, the program will be made by participants as we go, with hands-on sessions organized in sub-groups. Possible session topics that have already been proposed include:

  1. GNU Guix road map
  2. GNU Guix online documentation
  3. Mes and bootstrapping
  4. Reproducibility project
  5. Alternative target architectures (ARM etc.)
  6. Developing workflows (GNU Guix and GNU Workflow Language)
  7. Support for D in GNU Guix
  8. Demonstration and explanation of The Perfect Setup (Emacs, Geiser, Magit)
  9. Demonstration and live-hacking of Next browser + introduction to the code base
  10. Better build systems for JVM languages in GNU Guix (support maven, sbt, gradle, ...)
  11. Reproducible JDK
  12. The Guix System installer
