+title: Join GNUÂ Guix through Outreachy or GSoC

+
+We are happy to announce that for the first time this year, GNUÂ Guix
+offers [a three-month internship through
+Outreachy](https://www.outreachy.org/2018-may-august/communities/gnu-guix/),
+the inclusion program for groups traditionally underrepresented in free
+software and tech.  We currently propose two subjects to work on:
+
+  1. [improving the user experience for the `guix package` command-line
+     
tool](https://www.outreachy.org/communities/cfp/gnu-guix/project/improve-the-user-experience-for-the-guix-package-c/);
+  2. [enhancing Guile tools for the Guix package
+     
manager](https://www.outreachy.org/communities/cfp/gnu-guix/project/enhance-guile-tools-for-the-guix-package-manager/).
+
+[Eligible persons](https://www.outreachy.org/apply/eligibility/) should
+apply [by March 22nd](https://www.outreachy.org/communities/cfp/).
+
+Guix also participates in the [Google Summer of
+Code](https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/) (GSoC), under the aegis of
+the [GNU
+Project](https://www.gnu.org/software/soc-projects/ideas-2018.html).  We
+have collected project ideas for [Guix,
+GuixSD](https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Group:Guix/GSoC-2018), and [the GNU
+Shepherd](https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Group:Guix/GSoC-2018#Project_ideas_for_the_GNU_Shepherd),
+covering a range of topics.  The list is far from exhaustive, so feel
+free to bring your own!
+
+If you are an [eligible
+student](https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/faq#students),
+make sure to apply [by March 
27th](https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/timeline).
+
+If you’d like to
+[contribute](https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Contributing.html)
+to computing freedom, Scheme, functional programming, or operating
+system development, now is a good time to join us.  Let’s get in touch
+on [the mailing lists and on the `#guix` channel on the Freenode IRC
+network](https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/contact/)!
+
+
+#### About GNU Guix
+
+[GNUÂ Guix](https://www.gnu.org/software/guix) is a transactional package
+manager for the GNU system.  The Guix System Distribution or GuixSD is
+an advanced distribution of the GNU system that relies on GNU Guix and
+[respects the user's
+freedom](https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-system-distribution-guidelines.html).
+
+In addition to standard package management features, Guix supports
+transactional upgrades and roll-backs, unprivileged package management,
+per-user profiles, and garbage collection.  Guix uses low-level
+mechanisms from the Nix package manager, except that packages are
+defined as native [Guile](https://www.gnu.org/software/guile) modules,
+using extensions to the [Scheme](http://schemers.org) language.  GuixSD
+offers a declarative approach to operating system configuration
+management, and is highly customizable and hackable.
+
+GuixSD can be used on an i686, x86_64 and armv7 machines.  It is also
+possible to use Guix on top of an already installed GNU/Linux system,
+including on mips64el and aarch64.
