+
+[LibrePlanet](https://libreplanet.org/2018/), the yearly free software
+conference organized by the Free Software Foundation, took place a week
+ago.  Among the many great talks and workshops, David Thompson, a core
+Guix developer also working as a DevOps, presented many aspects of Guix
+and GuixSD in his talk, _Practical, verifiable software freedom with
+GuixSD_
+([video](https://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/m/practical-verifiable-software-freedom-with-guixsd/),
+[slides](https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/guix-libreplanet-practical-freedom-20180325.pdf)).
+
+In a similar domain, Chris Lamb, current [Debian](https://debian.org)
+Project Leader and a driving force behind the [Reproducible Builds
+effort](https://reproducible-builds.org), gave a talk entitled _You
+think you're not a target? A tale of three developers..._

+#### About GNU Guix
+
+[GNU Guix](https://www.gnu.org/software/guix) is a transactional package
+manager for the GNU system.  The Guix System Distribution or GuixSD is
+an advanced distribution of the GNU system that relies on GNU Guix and
+[respects the user's
+freedom](https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-system-distribution-guidelines.html).
+
+In addition to standard package management features, Guix supports
+transactional upgrades and roll-backs, unprivileged package management,
+per-user profiles, and garbage collection.  Guix uses low-level
+mechanisms from the Nix package manager, except that packages are
+defined as native [Guile](https://www.gnu.org/software/guile) modules,
+using extensions to the [Scheme](http://schemers.org) language.  GuixSD
+offers a declarative approach to operating system configuration
+management, and is highly customizable and hackable.
+
+GuixSD can be used on an i686, x86_64 and armv7 machines.  It is also
+possible to use Guix on top of an already installed GNU/Linux system,
+including on mips64el and aarch64.
