+The Guix hackers are very happy to announce the second online Guix Days
+Conference on **19 & 20 February 2022**. This conference is open to everyone
+and will be held entirely online. Want to speak? Submit your proposal!
+
+Important dates:
+
+1. **February 8**: Deadline for talks proposal.
+1. **February 12**: Deadline for releasing your pre-recorded talks.
+1. **February 14**: Release of the schedule.
+1. **February 19**: Conference day!
+1. **February 20**: Conference day!
+
+
+
+The agenda of these two days is:
+
+ - pre-recorded talks with live question and answer sessions
+ - birds of a feather (BoF) sessions
+ - lightning round talks, if possible
+ - retrospective and future of Guix
+ - hack together
+
+Talks will be released **before** the conference day, **watch them as soon
+as possible**! And: **no registration fee**.
+
+# Until February 8: talk proposals
+
+Propose your talks by sending them to `guix-d...@gnu.org`. Feel free to drop
+in `#guix` on irc.libera.chat to discuss what you would like to talk about
+before submitting. :)
+
+You can choose one of the following formats:
+
+ - Standard talk. 15-45 minutes pre-recorded presentation and a 5 minutes lightning talk.
+ The 5-minute presentation will be live, to refresh our minds, followed by
+ a 30 minutes live Q
+ - BoF (birds of a feather, for a session with a small group who wants to talk
+ about a specific topic) with no presentation. You may prepare something live
+ to spark conversations.
+ - Lightning talk with a 5 minutes live presentation
+
+In addition to the format you would like to choose, please describe your session
+with 10 lines or more (for lightning talks, at least 1 sentence).
+
+Once you have sent your proposal, you will be notified in the coming days
+whether your talk be part of the Guix Day. Submit earlier to get more time to
+prepare your session!
+
+Even for live presentation, please prepare a back-up pre-recorded talk, so
+we can play it if you cannot attend or have a technical problem during the
+Guix days. The deadline for short presentations (5 minutes) is February 16.
+
+We welcome all kinds of topics from the community, especially your own experience
+with Guix, your cool projects that involve Guix in some way, infrastructure around
+guix (translations, continuous integration, ...), and any subject you feel
+should be discussed during the conference.
+
+We particularly encourage people who consider themselves part of a group
+underrepresented in Guix and the broader free software movement to submit
+a talk. Do not hesitate to get in touch with the organizers at `guix-d...@gnu.org`
+if unsure or if you would like guidance on how to prepare your talk.
+
+Please make sure your talk is accessible to a non-expert audience, for instance
+by
