Reminder! Meeting July 12th 2017 Topic: Open Forum / BBQ / guix
by Tim Keller July 11, 2018

July 11, 2018

Hey Gang, Our next meeting is July 12th, 2018. Currently there isn't a topic, so I think I'm going to call this an open forum meeting. There was some talk about guix, so we'll definitely be talking about that. We'll also talk about when we want the BBQ. Personally, my vote is for Sept. Less bugs, cooler weather, etc. Obviously if someone with a pool wants to pitch for August I can be persuaded! Location: WPI Campus Center Rm 301 (Hagglund room) When you come up the stairs go right instead of left. Refreshments and snacks will be provided. Afterwards we'll head off for dinner and keep up the conversation. Later, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

You're thinking of last years BBQ! My plan was to have the BBQ either August or Sept. Being anywhere near a grill when it's 100 degrees just isn't enjoyable.

The Guix System Distribution, GuixSD, is an advanced distribution of the GNU system. In addition to standard package management features, Guix supports transactional upgrades and roll-backs, unprivileged package management, and per-user profiles. GuixSD offers a declarative approach to operating system configuration management and is highly hackable.

I thought it already happened. Maybe I'm thinking of last year's BBQ?
