<quiliro>hello fellow hackers

<quiliro>i would be interested in incorporating students to collaborate with guix

<quiliro>it is a distro with a good freedom orientation and also good functionality orientation without being based on another distro

<quiliro>the Asociation of Free Software of Ecuador (asle.ec)

<quiliro>could call students to participate and make agreements with schools and universities to involve students and teachers

<quiliro>into collaborating with guix

<quiliro>is there a link where the pendind tasks or where helo is needed is detailed?

<civodul>Hello Guix!

<zerwas>quiliro: I'm no developer but Guix needs more packages

<civodul>yes, and that's where you come in! :-)

<davexunit>civodul: quiliro just joined in. it seems that he is associated with "the Asociation of Free Software of Ecuador"

<davexunit>and wants to get students involved with guix.

<davexunit>which sounds like a nice idea to me.

<civodul>davexunit: oh indeed, i second that

<civodul>quiliro: if you need more info or anything, let us know

<quiliro>is there a link where the pending tasks or where help is needed is detailed?

<quiliro>civodul, davexunit: ^

<quiliro>zerwas: is there a link to information (howto) about packaging

<zerwas>quiliro: There is no packaging guide yet. You will need to refer to the manual for the time being: https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/guix.html

<quiliro>thanks zerwas

<quiliro>i have thought about various areas of contribution

<quiliro>administration (what to delegate volunteers)

<quiliro>develovment and tests (TI students)

<quiliro>(IT students)

<quiliro>documentation (howtos) and translation

<quiliro>advocacy and marketing (who is benefited and what can they contribute in compensation)

<quiliro>art (icons, images, multimedia) and web page

<quiliro>what do you think about those areas

<zerwas>quiliro: if you can manage to get students to work on any of those areas that would be great :)

<quiliro>i will try :-)

<zerwas>keep us updated about the process!

<quiliro>zerwas: which mailing list

<civodul>i reckon the manual needs to be improved

<quiliro>cool thanks zerwas and civodul
