Thanks to the @fsf for promoting GNU Guix's fundraising.
Like many other Free Software project's we depend on our users and fans support to pay for the project's expenses.
We're running a campaign to 'sustain and strengthen' Guix. As a #linux distribution we have a lot of #packages which costs quite a bit to build and distribute to users. And, as we use the declarative and reproducible system pioneered by #Nix we rebuild packages whenever there's a change.
If you'd like to know more about what we're doing, or support the project you can check out the blog post:

We appreciate any support that people can give!

It's going great with #Guix Astro Update 2025/10, there are 57 commits with refreshed/added/improved packages, nothing stopping to land it for review on time 2025-10-20.

Follow for updates or tag if you feel your team is missing some astro related software with FOSS flavour: #guixastroupdate

@guix I use it for two reasons:
1. To try out software, without worrying about cleaning up afterwards. Yesterday I was looking for a Makefile linter, #guix shell enabled me to quickly try out both checkmake and mbake.
2. To automatically setup an environment with direnv and a manifest.scm file. For my plain text accounting I need bc, gnumeric, hledger, miller and xlsx2csv. I do not need these packages anywhere else, but when I step into my accounting directory, guix shell makes them available.

The AI optimistic says: Oh cool, look what answers ChatGPT to the prompt « Provide the Scheme source code for the Guix recipe of the Python package tedana » 🤑
The AI pessimistic says: Oh damned, it looks as some formatted random! 🤬
The pragmatic: ’guix import pypi tedana’ period. 🤩
