+The introductory paragraphs are mostly boilerplate that presents Guix-HPC. But there is also a sentence or two summarizing the highlights of the year.

+The "Perspectives" section at the end of the report is a high-level outlook on future directions for Guix-HPC. Challenges, opportunities, etc.

+Once you have a draft, ask the author community for feedback.
+** TODO Update the PDF cover file with the year (see file doc/build.scm)
+The activity report is published in three formats:
+- as a blog post
+- as a PDF file
+= as a PDF booklet file for printing and folding
+
+The last two formats include a nice cover page. It contains the year number, so it has to be updated every year. You may also tweak the graphics for visual diversity, but that's optional.
