I think the "easiest" way to go about is going from analyzing a software
system to designing a new component in the system to implementing the
design. I guess its scope is pretty much like a GSoC project.

I am in this process. I want to add a package to Guix pretty soon. I've
run into some problems with the combination Fedora + Guix, so I still
have to get a working Guix setup before I can test my package expression.

I received an interesting opportunity from Pjotr Prins, which is about
reproducible bioinformatics pipelines. I'm in the process of formulating
an assignment proposal.
