Today we're kicking off the #GNU Assembly!

https://gnu.tools

This is a new umbrella for GNU people seeking transparent decision-making and built around consensus. It's the result of a decade of struggle to make #GNU inclusive, transparent, and community-driven.

#GNU contributors: consider joining!

#FreeSoftware activists: help us spread the word!

We're excited to announce the official release of GNOME 40! After countless hours of work from the GNOME community, this release brings many exciting updates!

Hello Free Software Friends,
#fsfe wishes all #FreeSoftware users, developers, contributors, translators and all the people involved with Free Software a happy "I love Free Software Day"! Let's share our love for Free Software #iloveFS

An interesting bit I had overlooked in Vagrant’s #Guix-on-#Debian announcement, is that one can also “guix install dpkg” and run “dpkg -i guix*.deb” from there. Mutually recursive distros, isn’t that beautiful?

Gave an updated #Guix-#Jupyter talk this morning at the UST4HPC workshop, before an audience of sysadmins.

That was a good opportunity to raise the issue of how hosted notebooks deprive scientists from their autonomy and undermine #reproducibility. "There is no cloud".

#ReproducibleResearch #OpenScience

Following on today's theme, I'm glad to announce the release of #Guix-#Jupyter 0.2.1, the kernel for self-contained and #reproducible notebooks!

https://hpc.guix.info/blog/2021/01/guix-jupyter-0.2.1-released/

Just finished the first day of the “user tools for #HPC” training.

During the intro, ~half of the attendees said they came for the #container stuff (K8S, Singularity) and about a third came for Guix. My goal is to make’em all want more #Guix and know why. :-)

My hacky FOSDEM video recording setup: laptop sitting on two "pizza boxes" (#Sun #SPARCStation) so the camera is in front of me, plus monitor on top of two dictionaries, a UML (!) book, and other similarly useful books.

A lot to learn before I can become a peertuber...

#GNU #Guile 3.0.5 is out! 🎉

GNU Guix 1.2.0 est publié https://www.journalduhacker.net/s/m73gd2/gnu_guix_1_2_0_est_publi https://linuxfr.org/news/gnu-guix-1-2-0-est-publie #linux

The online #Guix Day #conference will take place on Sunday, November 22, and you can now watch the pre-recorded talks.

WATCH THEM NOW!

Or when you have time, until the 21. We will not have a dedicated time to watch them together on Sunday, instead we will have an extended Q&A of 25 (!) minutes for each subject.

Time for me to be annoying again!

The online #Guix Day #conference will take place on November 22, and you have until November 6 to send your proposals!

If there is any subject on which you want to give a talk (15 to 45 minutes, it's up to you), please send your proposal to `guix-days@gnu.org`!

If you do not want to give a talk, but are willing to lead a discussion session on a specific topic during the conference, send us a message too!

Firefox/youtube-dl is an example I took last week in an OS class to illustrate that anything a user-space program can do, any other user-space program (and the user themself!) can do it as well. There’s no magic.
