This event is over, but you can read the minutes.

Users and developers of GNU Guix in a scientific context, for reproducible research or high-performance computing (HPC), will meet on-line, on Monday 27th September, 9:00–10:30 AM CEST.

The meeting will take place in this BigBlueButton chat room. Enter your name or nickname and join.

This will be an informal meeting to collectively map out actions for the coming year—define what each of us would like to work on, what we would like to see happening, and how we can coordinate. If you use Guix in an HPC or scientific context, if you package software or develop Guix itself and related tools, you’re welcome to join and share your ideas!

Topics include:

  • organizing training sessions and workshops;
  • funding opportunities;
  • long-term archival using Software Heritage and Disarchive;
  • citing software using Software Heritage IDs and Guix;
  • “converting” reproducible/active papers to use Guix;
  • packaging machine learning frameworks;
  • programming with GPUs;
  • Julia packaging and importer;
  • CPU micro-architecture support with function multi-versioning;
  • relocatable pack execution on clusters that lack user namespaces.

More details can be found in this notepad and you are free to add your ideas. We will arrange to split time evenly among those items so we can browse all the suggestions.

This event is subject to the code of conduct of the GNU Guix project.

For any question, please email guix-science@gnu.org or join the #guix-hpc IRC channel on irc.libera.chat.
