Where I work Guix is a tool we use in IT, rather than part of the
product we package/sell.  This means I hope much of what we have learned
in terms of extending and using Guix will end-up open and freely
available over time - some in Guix itself. I don't see us offering
services or consultation in Guix as we're not a pure IT company.
However, I am interested in seeing Guix and Guix services gaining a
foothold in the commercial space, and exchanging ideas around this - as
well as growing it in academia too.
