Yeah, the substitutes not working made my demo of installing emacs on my Debian machine with Guix fail. The other problem was my own, because I forgot to authorize hydra.gnu.org in the VM image I was showing off. I guess it didn't matter in the end, because substitutes weren't working at all. I was at least able to show them an operating-system definition, create a VM image from it, and boot it with qemu. > We can host the slides in guix-maintenance.git and/or on the web page if > you want. Yeah, they're really basic, but I can commit them to guix-maintenance for good measure. Do I have commit access to that repo since I'm in the guix group on savannah? > Yup, thanks for giving a talk!
