What should we call a group of Guix users?

One #Guix person is clearly a, 'Guix user', but what is a group? It's not a flock, and it can't be a Herd obviously! And anyway, #Guix and #Nix users are forging their own own path! In fact any #Linux user is already a pioneer. So what do you call a group of Guix users?

@luis_felipe reminded me there's no currently accepted one!

@futurile I'm in favor of people calling them whatever they feel comfortable using.

But the Guix manual says that

«“Guix” is pronounced like “geeks”, or “ɡiːks” using the international phonetic alphabet (IPA).»

So I personally use "guix" to refer to "Guix users", and "guik" for the singular. And it works for me because it reads naturally in Spanish.

@luis_felipe @futurile people often say "Hello Guix" in the IRC and mailing lists as if referring to everyone by that term
