3) Miscellaneous

  * 10 year meeting in Paris
    We should use it for recruiting new members. Simon volunteers to ask
    for a slot of 10 minutes on Saturday to present the association.
  * Website - technique
    Andreas has made a proof of concept site powered by Haunt. It should
    be moved to guix.info or a subdomain such as europe.guix.info,
    foundation.guix.info or association.guix.info.
    Simon suggests to move the website to an easily accessible git hosting
    platform; continuous integration could then launch "haunt build" and
    push the result to our server. Julien suggests framagit.org and creates
    the group https://framagit.org/guix-europe . Christopher points out
    that this could eventually hold most of the data of the guix-europe
    subdirectory of the maintenance repo on savannah.
  * Website - content
    Simon suggests to have monthly community news to make the site more
    dynamic and make people come back. Julien suggests to invite people
    to write something about Guix, as on the 10 year blog entry; it could
    be only ten lines of testimony. Simon proposes quick interviews, or
    people describing their workflow. Oliver volunteers to start the
    effort; we should collectively edit a file in framagit and polish and
    publish it at the end of the month.
  * Tax deduction
    Simon will enquire about the possibility of becoming a tax deductible
    entity/charity/association in the public interest and report back at
    the next meeting.
