Oh thanks!  I also forgot it.

With this search restricted to guix.gnu.org :
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=%22emacs+of+distros%22+site%3Ahttps%3A%2F%2Fguix.gnu.org%2F&ia=web

I foud the relevant blog post:
https://guix.gnu.org/en/blog/2015/gnu-guix-at-fosdem/

I found a copy of the slides on the Guix site, also:
https://guix.gnu.org/guix-fosdem-20150131.pdf

Maybe a search box in the menu of https://guix.gnu.org/ would be
helpful...

...but a good search query is all we need, sometimes! :-D

Last but _not_ least, I find this is a very inspiring  Emacs talk:
«EmacsConf 2021: How Emacs made me appreciate software freedom»
https://protesilaos.com/codelog/2021-12-21-emacsconf2021-freedom/

The concepts presented there are valid also for Guix, IMO

Thanks! Gio'
