Lovely.  Super happy to see you all continue this initiative; it’s
proved very pleasant and fruitful already!

Go for it!  We should definitely make it visible on the web site and
probably have a blog post to announce Guix Social and a place to
announce upcoming events.

We probably need an “events” or “outreach” circle to help coordinate
initiatives and groups (maybe internships à la Outreachy or GSoC could
also fall into that scope?).

Yay!

Thanks for the great work!
