Re: FOSDEM 2019 - stand

[Tonton]

Hi guix and Björn!

I'm happy to contribute to the stall, but...

I will have to figure out how I get there and accomodation (I guess I'm
financially "poor"). But if I can get that sorted you can count on me.
In that regard, if anyone's traveling by car or similar from approximately
Norway I'd love to hitch a ride.

        :)

I run guixsd as my only computer, though I wouldn't want it as a demo
machine, but I'm happy to show it off. I have some stickers [1]; I might
get more of the same, but slightly bigger. I'll bring what I have - if I can.
