OUTREACHY INTERNSHIP - INTRODUCING MYSELF

[obaseki osakpolor]

Hello everyone,

*I am Obaseki, Osakpolor from Lagos, Nigeria. An Outreachy internship
candidate*.
I am interested in working with you and contributing to the project
 - *Guix Data Service: revision processing instrumentation and
performance.*

While I have lots of experience using git, writing code with Java, Kotlin,
and SQL databases
I am new to contributing to FOSS, Guile, and Guix.

I look forward to the experience.
Guile seems pretty interesting to work with so far, and guix has been a
delight to use.
I am looking forward to hearing from and working with everyone.

Regards,
Osakpolor.

Hi Jakob!  Fancy seeing you here ;)

As said in person today, the vision of "guix deploy" is what originally
got me interested in Guix.  I'm so thrilled you're going to be working
this summer on making that a reality.

Welcome aboard!

Currently I am not mentoring, but sometimes I
help out a little here and there to get the administration
run smoothly.

There is already some real interest in this showing up on IRC
by the way :)

Happy hacking!

This is great news, welcome!

Chris Webber and Dave Thompson will be your mentors, and I’m sure #guix
and guix-devel will be your home.  :-)

This is an exciting project.  Looking forward to working with you!

Introducing myself

Hello, guix-devel!

My name is Jakob L. Kreuze, and I was accepted into Google's Summer of
Code program this year to work on "guix deploy," the deployment
automation tool for GuixSD that's been discussed in [1] and [2]. I just
wanted to briefly introduce myself to the list, as you'll likely be
seeing postings from me about "guix deploy" on a regular basis.

Officially, my work doesn't start until the 27th of this month; the next
few days will be spent ensuring that I have a working development
environment and familiarizing myself with both the code and the
development practices of Guix.

I look forward to working with all of you.

Thanks for the link! So many tools out there…
But, actually, what I said was "I want to package fzf for Guix". :-)

Fzf has a nice (colorful) UI and integration in Fish [1] is quite nice.
But I guess fzy will do for the time being!

I'm really happy with my Bspwm [1] setup, even if it comes with absolutely no
removable media management! I used to use `udiskctl`, but I have to
admit that one quickly gets attached to `udiskie`.

I guess the real struggle will be replacing dependency management

This has been my experience also.  I think "not being afraid to ask" is
one of the biggest challenges, in my experience, for students coming in
from Google Summer of Code or Outreachy.

Luckily you have a realy great mentor, and people here are generally
very happy to answer questions!

Sahitihi, please do not hesitate to ask questions on IRC or on the
mailing lists when you’re unsure about something or are looking for
help.  I’m sure people in the group will happily give a hand and provide
guidance.

Happy hacking!  :-)

Introducing myself as an Outreachy Intern

[Sahitihi]

Hi all,

I Sahithi Yarlagadda, a Free Software enthusiast. I am from India,
pursuing my under graduation final semester in Computer Science. I will
be working as an Outreachy Intern for May-August 2018. I am glad to be
part of Guix Community. I have been working with Ricardo Wurmus during
the application process. He helped me in understanding and working with
Guix. Community has given a great support, expecting the same till the end.

During the process of application, The following are the few tasks that
I worked out

1. Adding package definitions like r-dyn, r-catdap, r-abc to CRAN Packages .

2. Printed colored strings on terminal using Scheme code

3. Looked at scheme code to find out build output is printed.


Regards,

Sahithi
