@fsf @conservancy @fsfe #GNU Mes 0.24 released, closing the gap with Stage0: the Full Source Bootstrap is here!

The @GuixHPC package graph is now rooted in hex0, a 357-byte binary & ASCII-equivalent https://github.com/oriansj/bootstrap-seeds/blob/master/POSIX/x86/hex0_x86.hex0…

Today it's been 10 years since the first #GNU #Guix commit! 🎂

Some of the 600+ people who made it possible wrote their story:

👉 https://guix.gnu.org/en/blog/2022/10-years-of-stories-behind-guix/

🎉 🥳 👏 #FreeSoftware #Guix10Years

We've just published the Guix-HPC annual report!

👉 https://hpc.guix.info/blog/2022/02/guix-hpc-activity-report-2021/

See how we support #ReproducibleResearch workflows, from core #Guix work to #SoftwareHeritage support to #Jupyter integration and more.

No less than 5 talks around #GNU #Guix at #FOSDEM this week-end! 🎉
👉 https://guix.gnu.org/en/blog/2022/meet-guix-at-fosdem-2022/

… and a bunch of other exciting talks on the same track, including very Lispy nerdy things I won’t miss!

With #FOSDEM around the corner, we are proud to support 20+ projects and creators on the program this year. Check out their work and see you there! -> https://nlnet.nl/events/20220205/FOSDEM/index.html

Also at #FOSDEM, @mothacehe will share experience running #Guix on a variety of devices:

The program of the “Declarative and Minimalistic Computing” track at #FOSDEM is on-line:

Lotta exciting stuff: #RISCV, #Guix Home, #Guix continuous integration, thoughts on #Lisp syntax, #Spritely on #Guile, ccwl, and more! 👍

I now have #cuirass running in my local network providing substitutes for my personal #guix channel.

Super slick!

Announcing the next #Guix Days!

Let's meet for two days in February to talk about Guix and its community! This event is part of a series of events this year that celebrate the tenth anniversary of Guix. More to come :)

https://guix.gnu.org/blog/2022/online-guix-days-2022-announcement-1/

We welcome any topic related to Guix, so don't hesitate to submit a talk! You have until February 8 to submit a proposal, but the sooner you submit, the sooner you'll be notified, and the more time you'll have. Don't wait!

“Tuning packages for a CPU micro-architecture”
👉 https://hpc.guix.info/blog/2022/01/tuning-packages-for-a-cpu-micro-architecture/

Or how Guix’s new ‘--tune’ option allows #HPC users to get SIMD optimizations without giving up on #reproducibility.

Merged support for “package multi-versioning”, where packages are tuned for the host CPU and its SIMD extensions:

https://issues.guix.gnu.org/52283

Tuning without giving up on (1) reproducibility and (2) pre-built binaries.

Today is solstice, and it’s #Guix infrastructure hackathon day!

If you have sysadmin and/or Guix System experience, you can join the party!

“Decentralized substitute distribution with ERIS”
👉 https://issues.guix.gnu.org/52555

In which @pukkamustard shows how #Guix could benefit from #ERIS and #IPFS or some other p2p transport.

Great work supported by @NGIZero! 👍
