I’m going to be on a panel called “managing copyrights in free software projects” today 12h30 at FOSDEM:

https://fosdem.org/2025/schedule/event/fosdem-2025-5376-managing-copyrights-in-free-software-projects-discussion-panel/

A bit intimidated by the lineup but I hope I can bring a useful developer perspective!

Just wrapped up two intense #Guix Days with late night discussions. Very grateful to everyone who participated for the insightful discussions.

Weaving the social fabric that that this whole endeavor is a part of!

Petr Knoth (Knowledge Media Institute, The Open University) talks about the reproducibility crisis, the role of software in science, and how source code availability is the very first prerequisite to address the crisis.

Great talk by @zacchiro about SWHsec: leveraging information available in the SWH archive to find vulnerabilities in forks of software known to have received fixes.

On this topic, while I was looking for something else :-) I found that Lix (and Nix?) has what they call “installables”, which ‘nix run’ runs in a container:

https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/src/branch/main/lix/nix/run.md

‘nix run’ seems to have the same goal as the wrapper produced by ‘guix pack -R’: mapping the store at the right place in the application’s namespace. It’s not about running an application with the least authority.

As I use ‘M-x fj-view-notifications’, I start dreaming of a time where I’d no longer miss comments on patch reviews and at the same time regain control of my mailbox.

OK, I’m probably overly optimistic. Still…

There’s a patch adding a Hetzner backend to ‘guix deploy’:

I think that’s pretty cool.

Sounds like the right stance to me for anyone who cares about the human beings out there and about free-software-for-freedom:

I should say I’m pretty happy with the workflow we have on Codeberg and the many tiny features that overall make it easier to keep track of pull requests and ensure they reach the right people.

It’s routine for anyone who’s been using a “modern forge” but it’s good to see concretely how it could play out for a project like Guix.

Always amazed that when yt-dlp doesn’t work (it was unable to fetch an audio track in my case), you can run ‘guix shell --with-latest=yt-dlp yt-dlp -- yt-dlp …’ and it just works.
