|
||||
|
||||
Each session will be question/answer and discussion related to the topic via
|
||||
the BigBlueButton instance gracefully hosted by
|
||||
[Fosshost](https://fosshost.org/). Warm thanks to them!
|
||||
|
||||
The slots are short so please watch the
|
||||
[videos](https://xana.lepiller.eu/guix-days-2020/) beforehand to better enjoy
|
||||
the discussions. The term BoF means open discussion to address prospects. The
|
||||
last discussion may be longer depending on what you have to share.
|
||||
|
||||
The main channel for the day will be the video chat and questions will be asked
|
||||
via the chat hosted there or––because we love it––via `#guix` on
|
||||
[`irc.freenode.net`](https://guix.gnu.org/en/contact/irc/) then the floor
|
||||
might be shared, opening more mics. The discussions will not be recorded
|
||||
because we would like to keep them informal––where people are less impressed to
|
||||
share their point of views.
|
||||
|
||||
**The [Code of
|
||||
Conduct](http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/CODE-OF-CONDUCT)
|
||||
applies for all the channels of communication.**
|
||||
|
||||
##### GNU Guix in psychology research and teaching
|
||||
Presented by *Lars-Dominik
|
||||
Braun*. (**[video](https://xana.lepiller.eu/guix-days-2020/guix-days-2020-gnu-guix-in-psychology.webm)**,
|
||||
[doi](http://dx.doi.org/10.23668/psycharchives.4353), [slide](http://dx.doi.org/10.23668/psycharchives.4354))
|
||||
|
||||
The Leibniz Institute for Psychology supports psychologists in adopting open
|
||||
science practices by providing them with free infrastructure services. One of
|
||||
these services is PsychNotebook, a web platform providing access to shareable
|
||||
and reproducible R and Python programming environments, using RStudio and
|
||||
JupyterLab in particular. PsychNotebook is used by researchers for analyzing
|
||||
research data and by instructors to teach psychology students script-based
|
||||
analyses.
|
||||
|
||||
The session covers why psychology among other research field needs this
|
||||
platform, how it is designed and what role GNU Guix plays in all of this. In
|
||||
particular, four challenges are addressed: user management, project management,
|
||||
web app deployment/proxying; as well as usability and how GNU Guix supports or
|
||||
provide reproducible environments.
|
||||
|
||||
##### Fixing the CI
|
||||
Presented by *Mathieu Othacehe*. (**[video](https://xana.lepiller.eu/guix-days-2020/guix-days-2020-mathieu-otacehe-fixing-the-ci.mp4)**)
|
||||
|
||||
The session covers the following points:
|
||||
|
||||
- Presentation of our current [continuous integration infrastructure](https://ci.guix.gnu.org/).
|
||||
- What are the current issues?
|
||||
- How to overcome those issues? How to help [improving the CI](https://ci.guix.gnu.org/metrics)?
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
##### Nix and Guix: similarities and differences
|
||||
Presented by *Andrew Tropin*. (**[video](https://xana.lepiller.eu/guix-days-2020/guix-days-2020-andrew-tropin-nix-and-guix.mp4)**)
|
||||
|
||||
The session covers an high-level overview and comparison of Nix and GNU Guix
|
||||
package managers or NixOS and Guix System distributions. The comparison had
|
||||
been initiated to understand the differences between those two great
|
||||
projects. It may inspire people from both communities to implement missing
|
||||
features or help someone to decide, which package manager or operating system
|
||||
to pick.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
##### From v1.2 to release process
|
||||
Chaired by *Simon Tournier*.
|
||||
|
||||
The session covers a proposal to smooth the release process; ironic for a
|
||||
rolling-release project, isnt’t it? Make a release means:
|
||||
|
||||
1. how and what to do: tools
|
||||
2. schedule / track
|
||||
3. who do: people
|
||||
|
||||
The #1 is *roughly* described in the file
|
||||
[`maintenance/doc/release.org`](https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix/maintenance.git/tree/doc/release.org).
|
||||
Even if a non-negligible part is based on experience and cannot be documented;
|
||||
see #3. However, tools are still missing: going further than [`guix
|
||||
weather`](https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/guix.html#Invoking-guix-weather)
|
||||
`--coverage` or `--display-missing`.
|
||||
|
||||
The #2 means track what is going on between 2 releases. It seems easier to
|
||||
write down important changes when they happen than parse all the log history
|
||||
one week before releasing in order to publish the
|
||||
[`NEWS`](https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/commit/?id=51916455d0bb283489162ef84afc8145b28b012c)
|
||||
file. More importantly, #2 means stay on track with the schedule: release
|
||||
when it is ready? at fixed date? what must be in? does it make sense to
|
||||
synchronize with `staging` merges? how to synchronize with the branch
|
||||
`core-updates`?
|
||||
|
||||
The #3 means who take the responsibility to do the job. And it appears easier
|
||||
to divide the workload. More importantly, how to share the skill? Guix could
|
||||
take inspiration from
|
||||
[Nix](https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/index.html#release-managers) or
|
||||
GNU [Glibc](https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Release) or your-name-it.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
##### Porting Guix to modern PowerPC
|
||||
Presented by *Tobias Platen*. (**[video](https://xana.lepiller.eu/guix-days-2020/guix-days-2020-tobias-platen-guix-ppc.mkv)**)
|
||||
|
||||
The sessions covers how to port of Guix to modern 64-bit Little Endian, since
|
||||
that one is best supported by the Talos II and its graphics card, the AST2500.
|
||||
The final aim would be a self hosting version of Guix that runs on the Talos
|
||||
II, the Blackbird and the upcoming Libre-SOC. Such port may also be useful to
|
||||
support older PowerMacs including the G4 and G5.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
##### Just build it with Guix
|
||||
Presented by *Efraim Flashner*. (**[video](https://xana.lepiller.eu/guix-days-2020/guix-days-2020-efraim-flashner-build-it-with-guix.mp4)**)
|
||||
|
||||
The session covers how to use Guix as build plateform. Creating [custom
|
||||
packages](https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/guix.html#Defining-Package-Variants)
|
||||
is ubiquitous with Guix and
|
||||
[packaging](https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/guix.html#Defining-Packages)
|
||||
with Guix is fairly straightforward. But what about working with packages
|
||||
where you want to package a non-release version? Or if you're hacking on
|
||||
another package which either isn't packaged or you want to test your changes
|
||||
before sending off a patch set or a pull request? The file `guix.scm` is the
|
||||
unofficial filename for Guix build instructions for this case. It provides a
|
||||
target for creating an environment for hacking on the package, and it creates
|
||||
a recipe to build what's currently in that repository; meaning you can use the
|
||||
power of Guix for builds even while working on other projects. A combination
|
||||
of a little bit of boiler-plate for building “this here repository” and
|
||||
standard package definitions allow for easy building and rebuilding without
|
||||
dirtying the source tree. And also for building multiple versions of the
|
||||
package in one go.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
##### Progress so far on the Guix Build Coordinator
|
||||
Presented by *Chris Baines*. (**[video](https://xana.lepiller.eu/guix-days-2020/guix-days-2020-christopher-baines-guix-build-coordinator.mkv)**)
|
||||
|
||||
The session looks at the [Guix Build
|
||||
Coordinator](https://git.cbaines.net/guix/build-coordinator/), a tool for
|
||||
building lots of derivations, potentially across many machines, and doing
|
||||
something useful with the results. This is a new tool that might be able to
|
||||
help with patch review, quality assurance as well as substitute
|
||||
availability. The talk will cover the motivation, design, implementation and
|
||||
future, along with a small demo of the Guix Build Coordinator.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
##### Peer-to-peer substitutes and sources
|
||||
Chaired by *David Dashyan*.
|
||||
|
||||
The session covers the status of the peer-to-peer substitutes distribution.
|
||||
Especially the almost 2 years old [first
|
||||
draft](http://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/33899) adding support to distribute
|
||||
and retrieve substitutes over IPFS; see the
|
||||
[`wip-ipfs-substitutes`](https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/log/?h=wip-ipfs-substitutes)
|
||||
branch. Moreover the branches
|
||||
[`wip-ipfs`](https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/log/?h=wip-ipfs) and
|
||||
[`wip-ipfs2`](https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/log/?h=wip-ipfs2) are
|
||||
[attempts](https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2018-10/msg00220.html)
|
||||
to add the Go part of IPFS. The discussion will address the next steps to
|
||||
merge the branch `wip-ipfs-substitutes` or how to add decentralized
|
||||
substitutes distribution.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
##### Guile Hacker Handbook
|
||||
Presented by *Jérémy Korwin-Zmijowski*. (**[video](https://xana.lepiller.eu/guix-days-2020/guix-days-2020-jeremy-korwin-zmijowski-guile-hacker-handbook.webm)**)
|
||||
|
||||
The sessions covers [Guile Hacker Handbook](https://jeko.frama.io/) (GHH).
|
||||
The purpose of the GHH is to show [Guile](https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/)
|
||||
the way modern programming languages are shown, i.e., demonstrating its tools
|
||||
and following development approach we often stick to professionally.
|
||||
|
||||
Lengthy manuals are often hard to grasp at first; especially when learning new
|
||||
materials from scratch. Instead, it seems easier to rely first on tutorials
|
||||
or blog posts. Writing style and direct application sometimes helps to
|
||||
understand the underlying concepts). Then reads the reference manual feels
|
||||
more comfortable. GHH is an attempt to address this. For example, GHH is
|
||||
about Guile, not Scheme.
|
||||
|
||||
GHH is also about [Test Driven
|
||||
Development](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test-driven_development) and
|
||||
focuses on tests as first-class citizen.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
##### (BoF) Rust and Cargo
|
||||
Chaired by *John Soo*.
|
||||
|
||||
The session covers the various
|
||||
[issues](http://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/38408) with the Rust ecosystem in
|
||||
Guix. The discussion is about:
|
||||
|
||||
- packaging efforts
|
||||
- build systems
|
||||
- incremental compilation/shared libraries
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
##### Bootstrapping the Java Ecosystem
|
||||
Presented by *Julien Lepiller*. (**[video](https://xana.lepiller.eu/guix-days-2020/guix-days-2020-julien-lepiller-bootstrapping-maven-480.mp4)**)
|
||||
|
||||
The session covers the Maven bootstrap and the Maven Build System and how this
|
||||
Maven story may inspire directions to implement similar bootstrap stories for
|
||||
other ecosystems.
|
||||
|
||||
Ensuring that software is built entirely from source is an essential practice
|
||||
to ensure user Freedom, as well as for auditability and security.
|
||||
Unfortunately, the Java ecosystem is very complex and presents some
|
||||
interesting challenges when building from source.
|
||||
|
||||
One of these challenges is
|
||||
[Maven](https://maven.apache.org/what-is-maven.html), a build tool and package
|
||||
manager that is used by many if not most of the Java developpers nowadays.
|
||||
One key challenge is that Maven is itself a Java package, that is built with
|
||||
Maven and has a lot of dependencies, that themselves use Maven.
|
||||
|
||||
The discussion presents the current state of the bootstrap and how we break
|
||||
the various dependency cycles that occur. The recent addition to Guix of the
|
||||
maven build system is a major step towards a good support of the Java
|
||||
ecosystem in Guix. We will discuss how Maven works, what it expects, and how
|
||||
Guix can accommodate it to build offline, reproducibly, with no trusted binary.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
##### The ways forward (roadmap and beyond)
|
||||
Chaired by *GNU Guix maintainers*.
|
||||
|
||||
The session covers the medium- and long-term goals that may or may not look
|
||||
realistic. Pragmatic dream!
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
#### Code of Conduct
|
||||
|
||||
This online conference is an official Guix event. Therefore, the [Code of
|
||||
Conduct](http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/CODE-OF-CONDUCT)
|
||||
applies. Please be sure to read it beforehand!
|
||||
|
||||
If you witness violations of the code of conduct during the event, please
|
||||
email `guix-days@gnu.org`, a private email alias that reaches the organizers
|
||||
(Simon `zimoun` Tournier and Julien `roptat` Lepiller) and the GNU Guix
|
||||
maintainers.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
#### About GNU Guix
|
||||
|
||||
[GNU Guix](https://www.gnu.org/software/guix) is a transactional package
|
||||
manager and an advanced distribution of the GNU system that [respects
|
||||
user
|
||||
freedom](https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-system-distribution-guidelines.html).
|
||||
Guix can be used on top of any system running the Hurd or the Linux
|
||||
kernel, or it can be used as a standalone operating system distribution
|
||||
for i686, x86_64, ARMv7, and AArch64 machines.
|
||||
|
||||
In addition to standard package management features, Guix supports
|
||||
transactional upgrades and roll-backs, unprivileged package management,
|
||||
per-user profiles, and garbage collection. When used as a standalone
|
||||
GNU/Linux distribution, Guix offers a declarative, stateless approach to
|
||||
operating system configuration management. Guix is highly customizable
|
||||
and hackable through [Guile](https://www.gnu.org/software/guile)
|
||||
programming interfaces and extensions to the
|
||||
[Scheme](http://schemers.org) language.
