Sorry that I haven't been working on that before. Since we're already
this late, I suggest to postpone the guix days and have them two weeks
later. this should give us enough time to rest from Fosdem madness and
prepare :)

Attached is the full patch, with the blog post, banner and logo. I'll
push on Wednesday if there is no answer. Could one of our maintainers
resurrect the old guix-days email alias? It would contain the
maintainers, me and Simon for now. Anyone else interested?

I tried the patch locally and found some issues:

The link from the banner to the blog post fails:

#+begin_src
(div
(@ (class "message-box msg-info"))
(p ,(G_ `("Online conference February 19-20. "
,(G_ `(a
(@ (href "/blog/2020/online-guix-days-2022-announce-1/"))
"Learn more"))
"!"))))
#+end_src

I think the correct URL path should be:

/en/blog/2022/online-guix-days-2022-announce-1/

That is, with language tag and year 2022.

In the blog post, I see that:

1. Part of the text in the image looks jagged. I can patch the source SVG later to fix that, and send you an updated PNG.
2. IRC information is referring to irc.freenode.net instead of libera.
3. Link to the last conference fails. It reads:

[the last conference](/blog/2020/online-guix-day-announce-1/)

I think the correct path should be:

/en/blog/2020/online-guix-day-announce-1/

I'm attaching a patch that fixes the jagged text in the source SVG and adds a variant of the poster. And here are PNGs from each of them:

Actually, since those little i-shaped things below the GuixDays text are supposed to represent people, not i(s), I think this version might be better:


If you'd like to use this one for the post, I can send a new patch later.

The variant is wonderful! I'll use that in the announcement. Thanks!

There shouldn't be a need for the language tag at all, because the server uses the user's language in that case. I'll fix the url and irc link. I'd love to get the correct png, thanks!

I know I’m a professional nitpicker, but I’d use en dash for date ranges
throughout, like this: 12–18. :-)

Thank you the organization!

Should be irc.libera.chat.

A couple of ideas occurred to me while biking this morning:

What about adding something like:

We particularly encourage people who consider themselves part of a
group underrepresented in Guix and the broader free software movement
to submit a talk; do not hesitate to get in touch with the organizers
at `guix-days@gnu.org` if unsure or if you would like guidance on how
to prepare your talk.

Please make sure your talk is accessible to a non-expert audience, for
instance by explaining the general context before diving into
technical descriptions, and by avoiding acronyms and jargon.

?

After the first sentence above, I also thought about that one:

We accept talks in languages other than English provided English
subtitles are included.

Thoughts?
