 ronef | Hey everyone, happy almost‑Monday for some, and full‑on Monday for most! 😉
We’re kicking off our AWS cache sponsorship renewal (shoutout to the AWS Open Source teams for sponsoring us for two consecutive years now) and could use your help. If you work at AWS, or know someone who does, please drop me a note!
Each year we put together a summary of how Nix adds value on AWS, and real‑world examples make our case much stronger. If you’ve used Nix for anything on EC2, Lambda, EKS, CodeBuild, caching Docker layers, reducing build times, improving deploy consistency, or anything else in the AWS ecosystem, I’d love to hear about it. Even a quick bullet point or link to a project helps!
Thanks in advance for any pointers or introductions you can share. 🙏

 Arian | I can once again write a report from Mercury.com’s perspective. We can use the previous report as a template. We’ve recently open sourced a whole lot of AWS-NixOS specific code so I’ll add that to the report. | 07:45:41 |
| Arian | Also gave a talk about our AWS architecture at NixCon so I’d say we add that too :P | 07:46:14 |
| Arian | Shall we kick off a collaborative document? | 07:46:26 |
| Arian | I’ll also share this message in #aws:nixos.org | 07:48:20 |

| ronef | Great and GREAT! | 23:32:51 |
| ronef | pinging you | 23:32:59 |
| ronef | Tom can you send the doc over to the Marketing folks to see if there's anything else we can add? | 23:33:09 |
| ronef | I've finished filing the general background items, now it's mainly making the strongest case :) | 23:33:27 |

 Shahar "Dawn" Or (mightyiam) | Hey, I came to understand that https://discourse.nixos.org is managed by Flying Circus. And that any changes to it must be requested by the foundation, because the foundation is considered the client to whom that service is rendered. Perhaps that authority could be delegated? | 07:43:33 |
 K900 | To who, and why? | 07:44:20 |
| Shahar "Dawn" Or (mightyiam) | You mean to imply that such a suggestion is only practical if it comes with a candidate attached?
As to why: I will assume that you understand why and are asking this for the sake of increasing transparency in public discussion.
Because such things are not within the scope of the board. | 09:11:34 |
| K900 | I mean, I don't see any immediate issues with the current arrangement, and as part of the moderation team, I have obvious reservations about who should have access to Discourse controls | 09:14:54 |
| K900 | Especially when Discourse still does not have audit logging | 09:15:44 |
| K900 | Also, honestly, things being "not within the scope of the board" has... historically not been much of a concern for this community, especially when the service is basically operated for us | 09:17:48 |
| Arian | isn’t the moderation team defacto the discourse admin? | 09:31:19 |
| K900 | The moderation team has admin access on the frontend, but no access to the deployment itself | 09:32:55 |
| Shahar "Dawn" Or (mightyiam) | Well, I wouldn't want to bother the board with a suggestion to add a plugin or tweak an option. | 09:34:54 |
