My goal is to eventually submit Guix and the Guix-based distro as
GNU projects, with the hope that we can build a GNU distribution that is
100% free software and technically more attractive than the alternatives.
This is very interesting. Sustainability?
If your question is “will it succeed?”, then I cannot answer it. It’s
the usual chicken-and-egg problem.
No. My question regards plans to make it continue over time. Is there a
plan to motivate?:
* contributions from developers
* financing ofinfrastructure and other expenditures
* user base and support
Your ideas are great and I like that you want it to be an FSF aproved
distro. This is the intentions of many devs but it usually is very
complicated to finantianly and community-wise sustain those projects. It
is essential to have a plan. It may succeed or not but if we have a
plan, it has better chances. I would like to know this before I commit
myself to call for IT student participation on this project rather than
other projects that are as promising as yours.
