I guess the goal is to make progress on providing Guix files that would
let us re-run code submitted in ReScience C papers (for instance). In
doing that, old-timers like me can of course provide guidance to onboard
newcomers: this exercise is meaningful if we make it approachable to a
wider scientific audience.
We seasoned users (Simon, Konrad, myself, and anyone who feels
qualified) should prepare upfront to get a more precise idea of the
tasks involved and how we can onboard people.

Awesome. :-)
BTW, the event will be in English but we can definitely onboard those
who might prefer to speak French or German.
