HI Everyone, Anyone interested in a Guix Mentor role? This person would help on a retainer basis level up the guix knowledge with a startup team and support them with tasks to use guix effectively.
We've been using Guix informally for ages for sharing development environments (and it's amazing), but as we onboard new people, the rest of the team wants to switch to more 'traditional tooling'. Some of this comes from the pressure of dealing with the pace at which we are moving and finding the right answers with Guix is not easy. That said, I believe guix is the right way forward. The kind of advice you would be giving is: 1) Helping with advice on packaging software into guix (potentially even contributing to the repo) 2) Helping create an operating environment for our software which uses multiple open source components (writing guix services and starting software with daemons etc). 3) Helping with creating deployment systems based on Guix OS (deploying full fledge systems onto cloud providers). 4) Keeping abreast of best practices 5) Building the infra internally to speed up guix (right now from apt-get install guix to get our dev system running is hours of work e.g. getting our own substitute server up) Alternatively, if there are sysadmin shops that are interested in doing this work - please contact me. 🩷 Guix. Thanks, Hafeez
