User & Developer Meetup on Sept. 27th 9:00-10:30 (AM CEST)

[Simon Tournier]

Hi,

Users and developers of GNU Guix in a scientific context, for
reproducible research or high-performance computing (HPC), will meet on
line, on Monday 27th September, 9:00–10:30 AM CEST.

The meeting will take place in this BigBlueButton chat room,

    https://qlf-bbb.inria.fr/cou-srm-ted-9y1

Enter your name or nickname and join.

This will be an informal meeting to collectively map out actions for
the coming year—define what each of us would like to work on, what we
would like to see happening, and how we can coordinate. If you use Guix
in an HPC or scientific context, if you package software or develop
Guix itself and related tools, you’re welcome to join and share your
ideas!

Topics include:

 - organizing training sessions and workshops;
 - long-term archival using Software Heritage and Disarchive;
 - citing software using Software Heritage IDs and Guix;
 - “converting” reproducible/active papers to use Guix;
 - packaging machine learning frameworks;
 - programming with GPUs;
 - Julia packaging and importer;
 - CPU micro-architecture support with function multi-versioning;
 - relocatable pack execution on clusters that lack user namespaces;
 - run the tutorial FEniCSX and Firedrake cases using guix-jupyter.

More details can be found in this notepad [1] and you are free to add
your ideas; even if you cannot attend.

We will arrange to split time evenly among those items so we can browse
all the suggestions.

For any question, please email guix-science@gnu.org or join the
#guix-hpc IRC channel on irc.libera.chat.  This event is subject to the
code of conduct of the GNU Guix project.
