+title: Guix welcomes Outreachy and GSoC interns

+
+We are thrilled to announce that three people will join Guix as interns
+over the next few months!  As part of Google’s Summer of Code (GSoC),
+under the umbrella of the GNU Project, one person is joining us:
+
+  - Brice Waegeneire (liberdiko) will work on [network booting Guix 
System](https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Group:Guix/GSoC-2020#Booting_via_network).
+    This will involve both making Guix System network bootable,
+    and making it easy to set up a network boot server on Guix System.
+
+Through [Outreachy](https://www.outreachy.org), the internship program
+for groups underrepresented in free software and tech, two people will
+join:
+
+  - Danjela will work on improving internationalization support for the
+    [Guix Data Service](https://data.guix.gnu.org/),
+  - Raghav Gururajan will work on integrating desktop environments
+    into Guix System. 
+
+Christopher Baines and Danny Milosavljevic will be their
+primary mentors, and the whole Guix crowd will undoubtedly help and
+provide guidance as it has always done.
+
+We welcome all three interns, exciting things are sure to come!
+
+#### About GNU Guix
+
+[GNU Guix](https://www.gnu.org/software/guix) is a transactional package
+manager and an advanced distribution of the GNU system that [respects
+user
+freedom](https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-system-distribution-guidelines.html).
+Guix can be used on top of any system running the kernel Linux, or it
+can be used as a standalone operating system distribution for i686,
+x86_64, ARMv7, and AArch64 machines.
+
+In addition to standard package management features, Guix supports
+transactional upgrades and roll-backs, unprivileged package management,
+per-user profiles, and garbage collection.  When used as a standalone
+GNU/Linux distribution, Guix offers a declarative, stateless approach to
+operating system configuration management.  Guix is highly customizable
+and hackable through [Guile](https://www.gnu.org/software/guile)
+programming interfaces and extensions to the
+[Scheme](http://schemers.org) language.
