What do you mean? I will just test generally if it works on their
infrastructure. Afterwards I will set up some services for myself to
have something to test the server side of things I build and package.
There will be no public config to share, only at some point afterwards
when I decide to share a stripped down config or set of configs.

In the long run it would be nice if IN-Berlin could offer GuixSD in
addition to Debian, but as we all know, there's a reason for the "beta"
and until it's marked as beta I won't get to this point of discussion.
Just a general check if it works. The way it works for the current
Debian setup, asking for GuixSD would be no problem. No problem with a
raw image, so for them it won't matter if there'll be an .iso later on.

I used IN-Berlin before, started when I offered OpenNIC resolvers and a
tor-relay, and more afterwards. For users based in Germany I can
recommend it. I say Germany, because I have no idea if their registry
system would work well for anyone not living in Germany, I don't even
know about Austria. In case anyone is interested, asking via email will
resolve questions.
