That sounds like a good idea. Topics that stand out for me are (1) the subsystem overview, and (2) the Emacs interfaces (roughly Geiser + all the components of “guix.el”.) I think each one of them could take the form of a (possibly not-too-long) talk, or more a tutorial-style thing if there are enough attendees who already have experience with Guix. I’m happy to help with that, but I think there are several other people who could very well talk about it. Any volunteers? :-) Anyway, we should probably submit something now so we have time for it.

Cool, that confirms the other suggestions above. :-) > Other things to hack on that I've thought about were EFI/u-boot support > and combining QEMU and guix offload. Could be fun! Let’s keep that in mind and we can sit down and discuss/hack there. Thanks, Ludo’.
