Hello Guix! The FOSDEM tracks (“devrooms” in FOSDEM parlance) have been announced, together with their calls for presentations, and deadlines are fast approaching!
https://fosdem.org/2026/news/2025-10-31-devrooms-announced/ It’s a good way to spread the word about the cool things that we’re all passionate about in Guix and Guile land. First, there’s the unique, cozy, and friendly “Minimalistic computing” devroom organized for the 10th time in a row I think (woow!) by fellow hackers Pjotr Prins and Manolis Ragkousis, with help from other Guix comrades: https://lists.fosdem.org/pipermail/fosdem/2025q4/003662.html (deadline: Dec. 1st) Then there are devrooms where we many not feel as much at home :-) but that are a good way to reach out to people not familiar with Guix/Guile. Here’s a selection of devrooms where I think we could bring something interesting: - Containers https://discuss.linuxcontainers.org/t/fosdem-2026-containers-devroom-call-for-papers/25098 (Dec. 10th) - Distributions https://lists.fosdem.org/pipermail/fosdem/2025q4/003684.html (Dec. 1st) - HPC https://hpc-bigdata-fosdem26.github.io/ (Dec. 1st) - Microkernel https://lists.fosdem.org/pipermail/fosdem/2025q4/003644.html (Dec. 1st) - Nix https://discourse.nixos.org/ (Nov. 30th) - Open research https://research-fosdem.github.io/ (Dec. 1st) - Package management - Plan 9 https://lists.fosdem.org/pipermail/fosdem/2025q4/003658.html (Dec. 1st) - RISC-V https://lists.fosdem.org/pipermail/fosdem/2025q4/003646.html (Dec. 1st) - Rust https://rust-fosdem.github.io/ (Dec. 1st) - SBOMs and supply chains https://lists.fosdem.org/pipermail/fosdem/2025q4/003702.html (Nov. 30th) - Testing and continuous delivery https://lists.fosdem.org/pipermail/fosdem/2025q4/003641.html (Dec. 1st) I may submit something to the HPC track but I’m happy to coordinate with others. Don’t be shy and consider submitting a talk there, it’s fun! Ludo’.
