Dear Guix community, I've been playing with GuixSD for few weeks now. I was looking for a distribution recommended by the FSF, but was not pleased with Trisquel or Parabola, so I ended up trying GuixSD. And I have to admit that I haven't been disappointed! The documentation looks good, the installation procedure is straight forward… so I decided to take the plunge and to install it as my main OS on my [Vikings D8][1].

And, icing on the cake, I read recently that you guys were interested in the Hurd [3], a project I've been following for years and even contributed a bit to.

I've been using Python as my main language for more than 10 years and Guile is… something that I still have to get used to! ^_^' As you might expect, I have a ton of questions! I might even have found one bug or two that I'll post on the mailing list! And in a while, I hope, I'll be able to contribute some package definitions. But before I do, I just wanted to tell you that GuixSD really looks like a great project and that you guys have done a great job! I hope to be able to play a role in the future of Guix! Best regards -- Tanguy
