Hello!
Last year we had an “on-line hackathon” to celebrate GNU’s 30th
birthday¹. While discussing on IRC, it seemed a good idea to similarly
celebrate GNU’s 31st birthday, on the 27th and 28th of September.
Tasks would include helping newcomers, packaging (see
<http://libreplanet.org/wiki/Group:Guix/Wishlist>), improving the
operating system notably by adding new service definitions, hacking dmd,
fixing bugs, etc.
This should be accessible to anyone with experience with GNU/Linux
packages. People with experience in Guile Scheme would find additional
things to work on, such as ‘guix import’ to import package definitions
>From other systems (PyPi, configure.ac, etc.), making ‘guix refresh’
work for non-GNU packages, etc.
How does that sound? Perhaps we should setup a wiki page on
libreplanet.org to collect ideas and a list of interested people?
