+
+Just a few days after [it turned
+six](https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2018-11/msg00446.html),
+Guix received a great birthday present: the [Handshake
+project](https://www.handshake.org/), which works on the design and
+implementation of a decentralized naming protocol compatible with the
+Domain Name System (DNS), [made a large donation to the GNUÂ Project
+_via_ the Free Software Foundation
+(FSF)](https://www.fsf.org/news/free-software-foundation-receives-1-million-from-handshake).
+Of this donation, 100,000Â USD go to GNUÂ Guix.
+
+![Handshake & Guix 
logos.](https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/static/blog/img/handshake+guix.png)
+
+This donation will allow the project to guarantee its independence,
+invest in hardware for its build farm, and develop new features to
+benefit all our users.
+
+We will be able to grow the performance and reliability of our existing
+infrastructure.  We also envision better support for new and liberating
+architectures, and more resilient long-term storage of binaries and
+source code.
+
+It will also allow us to continue our outreach efforts and attract new
+interns, for example through [Outreachy](https://www.outreachy.org/), to
+further improve and promote the project.
+
+The project funds are held by the FSF and spending is overseen by a
+committee currently consisting of Ricardo Wurmus, Tobias Geerinckx-Rice,
+and Ludovic Courtès, all core Guix developers.  The FSF is the fiscal
+sponsor of [free software
+efforts](https://www.fsf.org/working-together/fund), including Guix, as
+part of its [Working Together for Free Software
+fund](https://my.fsf.org/associate/donate/working-together).  Other
+recipients include GNUÂ Octave, the GNU Tool Chain, and Replicant.
+Congratulations to them as well!
+
+Above all, a big thank you to Handshake for its support of free software
+and GNU!  The least we could do to show our appreciation was to add a
+package definition for the Handshake resolver daemon, [which we just
+did](https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/commit/?id=91a4863d9d727754d1743f4c0591c63b950494cf).

+
+#### About GNU Guix
+
+[GNUÂ 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, ARMv7, and AArch64 machines.  It
+is also possible to use Guix on top of an already installed GNU/Linux
+system, including on mips64el and aarch64.
