Hi again!

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?
