+title: Join GNU Guix through Outreachy
+date: 2018-10-03 11:03
+author: Gábor Boskovits
+tags: Outreachy, Documentation
+---
+We are happy to announce that for the second time this year, GNU Guix offers a
+[three-month internship through 
Outreachy](https://www.outreachy.org/december-2018-march-2019-outreachy-internships/communities/gnu-guix/),
+the inclusion program for groups traditionally underrepresented in free 
software
+and tech. We currently propose one subject to work on:
+
+1. [Create user video documentation for GNU 
Guix](https://www.outreachy.org/december-2018-march-2019-outreachy-internships/communities/gnu-guix/#create-user-video-documentation-for-gnu-guix).
+
+[Eligible persons](https://www.outreachy.org/apply/eligibility/) should apply
+[by November 22th](https://www.outreachy.org/communities/cfp/).
+
+If you’d like to 
[contribute](https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/en/html_node/Contributing.html)
+to computing freedom, Scheme, functional programming, or operating system
+development, now is a good time to join us. Let’s get in touch on
+[the mailing lists and on the #guix channel on the Freenode IRC 
network](https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/contact/)!
+
+# 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](https://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.
