That would be great! Also for some advocacy.

For biomedical and biological purposes, Cloudbiolinux packages
software. 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.
