At #Guix10Years, former #Outreachy intern Danjela Lura talked about her work, her experience, and how it influenced her career later:

Inspiring!

I love how #NixOS handles releases, with rotating responsibilities and a well-defined schedule announced upfront:

“error in finalization thread: Success”.

This iconic (!) message that Guix System users got used to seeing at boot may well be gone:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/commit/?id=168a7933c0e138dc7061a3f0dc96871e16da5c5f

If you miss it please let us know and we’ll arrange something.

Another way to contribute to #Guix is through translations and #i18n, and @roptat nicely showed how to get started:

If you’d like to contribute to #Guix beyond packages, don’t miss Josselin’s excellent guided tour of the source tree:
https://10years.guix.gnu.org/video/guixy-guile-the-derivation-factory-a-tour-of-the-guix-source-tree/

You’ll see there’s a surprising variety of modules, from file formats like ELF and cpio, to Linux container, initrd, and kernel module utilities. Much fun to be had!
