All welcome! > > # Agenda > > - Kick-off (~5 mins): The meetup kicks off at 6:10 pm UTC (please arrive > at 6:00 pm if you're attending in person, that gives us some leeway to > sort access badges and other practicalities out) with a quick round of > intros.

You're also welcome to jump on and off the call at any time. > > - G-expressions, a talk by Simon Tournier (~30 mins + QA): Introduced in > 2021 as part of a significant refactoring, the "Big Change", > G-expressions have become the regular tool for defining Guix > packages. We will start with some Scheme core concepts such as > quasiquote and unquote and then go to G-expressions. As an example, we > will compute the Fibonacci sequence using G-expressions, derivations, > and the Guix daemon. > > - Open discussion (~30 mins): If you have any Guix related question or > idea that you want to share with us, this is a great time to bring it > up. > > # Contact > > For any question, please get in touch via any of the following channels: > > - Arun: arunis...@systemreboot.net > - Fabio: m...@fabionatali.com and https://octodon.social/@fabionatali > - Guix Devel mailing list: https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guix-devel/ > > Guix London has no official ties with the Guix project.
