Having said that, I would like to inform that you can see what I
worked on on the 'wip-guix-log' branch and also on my Gitlab

review and/or feedback is appreciated :D

Thank you, it was nice to have you on board!  Hopefully together with
Simon, Gábor (and maybe you!) we can review your work to integrate it
soonish.  There’s demand for this tool!


Fine, please let me know the next steps for reviewing and integrating it.



I hope it’s been a useful and pleasant experience and that it will allow
you to contribute to Guix or other free software projects in the future.
I think you’ve demonstrated the technical and social skills to be
successful at that.


It certainly was an awesome experience. Getting to know Guix and the 
people was definitely great.




Good luck with your future endeavors!


Thank you very much!


Cheers,

[Outreachy] Use of impure functional programming and use of vlists

[Magali Lemes]

Hello, Guix.

As my Outreachy internship approaches an end, I'd like to know which of 
the following options is better for walking and displaying the Git 
commit history:
1) having a list and then using for-each it to display the commit 
information;

2) display the list while building it.

When it comes to option number 2, the main advantage is that it's faster 
to perform operations such as 'guix git log --oneline | head -n5'. The 
downside is that it's not a pure functional programming approach.
Another question is, could vlists be used? Since it would be fast to 
have the commits in a hash table implemented with vlists, we could use 
'vlist-for-each' to display the commits. I haven't seen vlist-for-each 
being used anywhere in Guix, so I wondered if there's a special reason 
for it not being used, or if it hasn't really been necessary at all thus 
far.


Regards,
Magali

Hi Aniket and Bonface,
thank you two for the nice suggestions. That was exactly what I
was looking to get started into emacs.

Re: Outreachy Applicant: An Introduction

Hey,
I'm using Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS. I must say I've never used emacs before, so
I'll try to get the hang of it.
Sharing my progress: I decided to package the arduino IDE, but it turned out
way harder than I expected, due to its many dependencies. I ended up not
doing it, but it was a good experience because I could learn about some
functions in Scheme - chdir, for example -, some of the phases of
building a package - like unpacking, configuring and building - and I could
also interact with the community, asking for help, via IRC, which is a
very new thing for me.
As for today, I will continue trying to package something. I'll probably
follow
your previous advice and begin with a R package. It seems easier, so
hopefully
I'll succeed.

Cheers,
Magali.

Re: Outreachy Applicant: An Introduction

[Magali Lemes]

Hi,
thank you for welcoming me!
Guix was fairly easy to install, I used the shell script to do that.
I installed emacs using Guix and it worked as expected.
I'll begin by trying to package something. So, I'll go through the links
you sent
and see how that goes.
Thanks again for all of your suggestions on how to start contributing.

Outreachy Applicant: An Introduction

[Magali Lemes]

Hi, everyone!
My name is Magali, I am an Outreachy applicant interested in the GNU Guix
project #1 'Add a subcommand showing GNU Guix history of all packages'.
I'm excited about learning more about Guile Scheme and Guix. I'm currently
seeing a bit of Scheme in college, so I thought it'd be interesting to work
on a project that uses it too.
I already installed the Guix package manager on Ubuntu and am going through
some of the commands.
Anyhow, I'm excited to know what my next steps could be. I truly appreciate
an answer.
