My goal is to eventually submit Guix and the Guix-based distro as
GNU projects, with the hope that we can build a GNU distribution that is
100% free software and technically more attractive than the alternatives.
This is very interesting. Sustainability?
If your question is “will it succeed?”, then I cannot answer it. It’s
the usual chicken-and-egg problem.
No. My question regards plans to make it continue over time. Is
there a plan to motivate?:
- contributions from developers
- financing ofinfrastructure and other expenditures
- user base and support
Your ideas are great and I like that you want it to be an FSF
aproved distro. This is the intentions of many devs but it usually
is very complicated to finantianly and community-wise sustain
those projects. It is essential to have a plan. It may succeed or
not but if we have a plan, it has better chances. I would like to
know this before I commit myself to call for IT student
participation on this project rather than other projects that are
as promising as yours.
