 ronef | If I missed a channel where this is relevant please feel free to share there | 22:25:10 |
 @theophane:hufschmitt.net | In reply to @ronef:matrix.orgI'm sharing on the couple of relevant discourse threads | 22:26:56 |

 Janik (they/them) | In reply to @infinisil:matrix.org ~25% of all nixpkgs contributions in the last two years where done by people who signed the letter: | 09:13:01 |
| K. Werty | People can't seriously be even considering accepting a sponsorship from a military drone manufacturer. | 18:31:01 |
| Janik (they/them) | In reply to @infinisil:matrix.org* ~25% of all nixpkgs contributions in the last two years were done by people who signed the letter: | 09:13:25 |

 delroth | In reply to @janik0:matrix.orgYour base should probably exclude r-ryantm fwiw | 10:13:46 |
| Janik (they/them) | removing r-ryantm from the equation (by appending -involves:r-ryantm to the query) results in 92992 total prs and 26766 prs done by people who signed the letter, which is roughly 29% of contributions. | 10:23:30 |
 Arian | In reply to @janik0:matrix.orgI'm not sure how valuable this metric is. I'd consider myself pretty active contributor to NixOS but not to nixpkgs. Work on more deeper things that move slower (e.g. systemd; how NixOS boots, certificate renewal, AWS support). I only have 55 PRs that I ever merged but I'd still call myself an active part of the community. I think package maintainers will have way more pull requests than people like me. it might give a skewed view of how active the community is | 10:53:55 |
| Arian | Me signing that letter or not signing that letter makes no dent in the metric at all. | 10:54:37 |
| Arian | I still think it has some value. it shows that people signing it aren't just "random people". they're a core part of our community. but i don't know if we can use it as a representative metric in any way | 10:55:42 |
| Arian | * I still think it has some value. it shows that people signing it aren't just "random people". they're a core part of our community. but i don't know if we can use it as a representative metric in any way apart from that | 10:55:50 |
| Arian | That there are active core contributors opposed to a certain sponsor could of course already be enough reason to drop such a sponsor. it isn't some representative vote. | 10:57:43 |
| Janik (they/them) | Yeah I agree, metrics like this are always hard and I'm not someone doing a lot of data-science. All I wanted to show with this is that it's not just a small minority of random people, but people that are fairly involved with the project. | 11:00:25 |
 patka | In reply to @arianvp:matrix.orgI don't think we will use it for much (because like you say it's not too useful). But if anything we can use it for the silly comments on Discourse saying "I hope these people are not a mob of rando's stating "war bad"". Although we should just ignore those completely, probably. | 11:05:54 |
| delroth | as a reminder, https://discourse.nixos.org/t/community-calendar/18589/118 should be starting now-ish | 16:00:23 |
 piegames | I'd like to note that the lassul.us Jitsi is configured to not have a lobby before joining, which is a bad fit for meetings, especially of this size | 16:12:09 |
| piegames | (Also maybe there should be a proper NixOS Jitsi instead of just using random other instances?) | 16:12:32 |
 Julien | If someone has 2mn could they open an issue on nixos/infra, not able to do it right now and will after if not done and if I don’t forget | 16:26:03 |
| Janik (they/them) | In reply to @julienmalka:matrix.orghttps://github.com/NixOS/infra/issues/401 | 16:55:02 |
| delroth | takeaway from the foundation board call: we do actually have a nixos governance process! if you file an issue on a random tracker and it stays unacknowledged for 3 months with no comments from anyone, it's made into official policy | 17:09:15 |
| delroth | even if there's 100s of discourse posts from 3 months before that go completely against it - it's fine to ignore those | 17:10:04 |
| patka | Time to reconsider spending my time here, I guess | 17:19:40 |
| Janik (they/them) | In reply to @patka_123:matrix.org+1, I'm very disappointed with how that turned out. | 17:21:06 |
| Janik (they/them) | for anyone curious: https://pad.lassul.us/ustvshbjQAKOxmj5JsPLvQ?edit# here are the meeting notes | 17:23:48 |
 tomberek | This is not true. That "random tracker" is the official Foundation repo. This was announced in the Matrix channel specifically set aside to resolve this issue. | 17:24:46 |
| patka | Yes, yet is was a very problematic issue. So not even a single word on any of the discussion places about it actually being used is quite... not smart? | 17:26:35 |
| delroth | damn ok then I guess everyone was in agreement with the policy after all | 17:26:44 |
