+title: Announcing the first virtual Guix Day Conference
+date: 2020-10-16 00:00
+author: Guix Hackers
+slug: virtual-guix-days-announce-1
+tags: Conference
+---
+
+The Guix hackers are very happy to announce the first virtual Guix Day
+Conference on **Sunday November, 22nd**. This conference is open to everyone
+and will be held online. Want to speak? Submit your proposal!
+
+Important dates:
+
+1. **November 6th**: Deadline for talks proposal.
+1. **November 14th**: Deadline for releasing your pre-recorded talks.
+1. **November 16th**: Release of the schedule.
+1. **November 22nd**: Conference day!
+
+The layout of the day is:
+
+ - pre-recorded talks with live question and answer sessions
+ - birds of a feather (BoF) sessions
+ - lightning round talks, if possible
+ - hack together
+
+*There will be no presentation on the 22nd!* And **no registration fee**.
+
+##### Until November 6th: talks proposal
+
+Propose your talks by sending them to `guix-devel@gnu.org`. Feel free to drop
+in `#guix` on irc.freenode.net to discuss what you would like to talk about
+before submitting. :)
+
+Please describe with 10 lines or more what your proposal is about. Even if it
+is a BoFs topic (smaller group who want to talk about specific topics).
+
+Once you have sent your proposal, you will be notified in the coming days
+whether we would like to have your talk be part of the Guix Day.
+
+Good topics include your own experience with Guix and what you feel important
+to share with your other fellows, for example a non-exhaustive topic list is:
+installer, Maven build system, Data Service, GNU Hurd and cross-compilation,
+Cuirass and continuous integration, authentication, secret services, website
+translation, translation infrastructure,… It is a single day so we won't be
+able to cover all. ;-)
+
+
+##### November 9th-14th: prepare your talk
+
+The aim of the pre-recorded talk is to demonstrate new features, what you are
+hacking on, introduce the subject for easing the live question and answer
+sessions or BoFs. These pre-recorded talks should be **15-45 minutes
+long**. Feel free to ask if you need help with the recording.
+
+You are free to choose whichever storage platform you want (e.g., your own
+website, a peertube instance, a nextcloud instance, etc.), but we will need to
+have access to the original file so we can publish it later on
+[audio-video.gnu.org](https://audio-video.gnu.org). Your video must be
+released under a license that at least allows anyone to copy and share it, for
+any purpose.
+
+You will have to release the video publicly before November 14th, so everyone
+has a chance to see it before the conference. If you are not able to do so
+(for instance your server cannot handle a huge load), you can alternatively
+send us a private link to the video and we will upload it on
+[audio-video.gnu.org](https://audio-video.gnu.org). If you decide to do so,
+you will need to have the video ready by November 12th.
+
+
+##### November 16th-22nd: watch the talks
+
+Be sure to watch the pre-recorded talks before the conference. There will be
+no presentation on the 22nd.
+
+
+##### November 22nd: participate
+
+Coming soon! Stay tuned.
+
+
+#### Code of Conduct
+
+This online conference is an official Guix communication channel. Therefore,
+the [Code of Conduct](http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/CODE-OF-CONDUCT)
+applies. Please be sure to read it beforehand!
+
+#### About GNU Guix
+
+[GNU Guix](https://www.gnu.org/software/guix) is a transactional package
+manager and an advanced distribution of the GNU system that [respects
+user
+freedom](https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-system-distribution-guidelines.html).
+Guix can be used on top of any system running the Hurd or the Linux
+kernel, or it can be used as a standalone operating system distribution
+for i686, x86_64, ARMv7, and AArch64 machines.
+
+In addition to standard package management features, Guix supports
+transactional upgrades and roll-backs, unprivileged package management,
+per-user profiles, and garbage collection. When used as a standalone
+GNU/Linux distribution, Guix offers a declarative, stateless approach to
+operating system configuration management. Guix is highly customizable
+and hackable through [Guile](https://www.gnu.org/software/guile)
+programming interfaces and extensions to the
+[Scheme](http://schemers.org) language.
