+As usual, GNU Guix will be present at [FOSDEM](https://fosdem.org/2019/)
+in the coming days with a couple of talks:
+
+  - Saturday afternoon, [_Building a whole distro on top of a
+    minimalistic
+    language_](https://fosdem.org/2019/schedule/event/gnuguixminimalism/)
+    will present to the [minimalist languages
+    track](https://fosdem.org/2019/schedule/track/minimalistic_languages/)
+    audience how Scheme, rather than “piling feature on top of feature”,
+    provides the fundamental tools that have allowed us to build a wide
+    range of operating system features on top of it.
+  - In the same track, [_GNU Mes—Reduced binary seed bootstrap for
+    Guix_](https://fosdem.org/2019/schedule/event/gnumes/) will report
+    on two years of hard work tackling one of the most pressing security
+    issues of operating systems—the [“trusting trust”
+    
attack](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backdoor_(computing)#Compiler_backdoors).
+    Janneke will present exciting [bootstrapping
+    achievements](https://bootstrappable.org) and their integration in
+    Guix.
+  - Ricardo [will present the GNU Guix Workflow
+    Language](https://fosdem.org/2019/schedule/event/guixinfra/) in the
+    same track—on the benefits of having reproducible software
+    deployment built into a scientific workflow execution engine.
+  - On Sunday afternoon (don’t rush to the train station yet!),
+    [_GNU Guix’s take on a new approach to software
+    
distribution_](https://fosdem.org/2019/schedule/event/gnu_guix_new_approach_to_software_distribution/)
+    will present to [fellow distro
+    hackers](https://fosdem.org/2019/schedule/track/distributions/) how
+    Guix differs from “traditional distros” and how it tries to make
+    popular ad-hoc software deployment tools (pip, VirtualEnv, Cabal,
+    but also Flatplak, Docker—you name it) less appealing than its
+    integrated solutions.
+
+The [minimalist languages
+track](https://fosdem.org/2019/schedule/event/gnuguixminimalism/) will
+also feature talks about [GNU Guile](https://gnu.org/s/guile) and about
+[Racket](https://racket-lang.org) that you should not miss under any
+circumstances!
+

+
+For the second time, we are also organizing the Guix Days as a [FOSDEM
+fringe event](https://fosdem.org/2019/fringe/), a two-day Guix workshop
+where contributors and enthusiasts will meet.  The workshop takes place
+on Thursday Jan. 31st and Friday Feb. 1st at the Institute of Cultural
+Affairs (ICAB) in Brussels.
+
+This year there will be few talks; instead, the event will consist
+primarily of
+“[unconference-style](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconference)”
+sessions focused on specific hot topics about Guix, the Shepherd,
+continuous integration, and related tools and workflows.  We are also
+happy to welcome fellow [Nix](https://nixos.org/nix/) hackers, which
+should allow us to develop cross-distro cooperation.
+
+Attendance to the workshop is free and open to everyone, though you are
+invited to register (there are only a few seats left!).  Check out [the
+workshop’s wiki
+page](https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Group:Guix/FOSDEM2019) for
+registration and practical info.  Hope to see you in Brussels!
+
+#### 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 kernel Linux, 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.
