| Aditya Kompella | Hello. I've been using nix and nixos for a while. I noticed that in the changelog for the new stable release that there was a few rust projects. How can I get involved as a newcomer, with some decent rust and nix experience? | 01:16:38 |

Hello. I've been using nix and nixos for a while. I noticed that in the changelog for the new stable release that there was a few rust projects. How can I get involved as a newcomer, with some decent rust and nix experience? everyone can submit their fixes to Nixpkgs. if you wanna take responsibility for specific packages/modules, add yourself to their maintainers (see readmes under maintainers and pkgs on how) | 04:47:35 |
| Aditya Kompella | Thank you. I am planning currently to submit a PR to nixpkgs for a package I haven't seen on there, and I'll take a look at taking responsibility for other packages once I go through the process once myself, I hadn't considered that. However, I was asking more about the nix / nixos tooling / projects rather than projects in nixpkgs. | 08:34:44 |
 K900 | Nixos tooling that is Rust mostly lives inside nixpkgs | 09:03:53 |
| K900 | Nix itself doesn't use Rust | 09:03:58 |
| K900 | Lix, a Nix fork, uses Rust somewhat, and plans for more Rust in the future | 09:04:10 |
