Re: Guix Days and FOSDEM 2021

[Pjotr Prins]

A reminder that thanks to our organising team we have a great line up
for FOSDEM:

  https://fosdem.org/2021/schedule/track/declarative_and_minimalistic_computing/

with famous Guix contributors and Guixers doing the moderating :) All
virtual and online this year, so you can attend from anywhere! Put
Sunday February 7th in your diary!

And then on Monday 8th we have another Guix day online as a low
profile unconference. Do sign up and we'll send a reminder here. See

  https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Group:Guix/FOSDEM2021

It is great to do a virtual FOSDEM this way and be able to reach a far
wider audience. Even so we are also happy if just 10 people show up and
get some declarative hacking done :)

Manolis & Pjotr.
