 andrew | thanks. I don't think I have permissions for creating a room, but I'll request in that channel | 03:54:29 |
 Dandellion | Anyone can make a room, the alias can be added later | 03:55:48 |
| andrew | hmm, I tried /join #nix-gui:nixos.org but it doesn't create the room. This isn't like irc, and I can't find the documentation on how to create a room in matrix spaces. Could you tell me the command? | 04:01:02 |

| Dandellion | You create the room outside of the space, it's then added to the space later :) | 04:07:26 |
| andrew | ah, still unfamiliar with matrix. Thanks! | 04:07:42 |
| andrew | * Ah, still learning with Matrix. Thanks! | 04:07:52 |
 adisbladis | A really cool thing with Matrix rooms is that one room can exist in many spaces | 04:12:19 |
| andrew | * Ah, still learning Matrix. Thanks! | 04:23:51 |

Do not try and bend the spoon room – that's impossible. Instead only try to realise the truth. There is no spoon room.

| Enzime | have there been any thoughts about making a PR channel where you can request a review for your PR? | 00:11:25 |
| Enzime | similar to the #pr-review-request on the unofficial NixOS Discord | 00:11:28 |

have there been any thoughts about making a PR channel where you can request a review for your PR? Tbh I don't think you would get many participants with commit bit | 00:25:20 |
| adisbladis | It's not like we are not reviewing PRs for the fun of it | 00:25:38 |
 hexa | yeah, it's mostly for a lack of (motivation|time) | 00:25:57 |
| adisbladis | From a person with commit bits perspective: Such a channel is purely spam | 00:26:08 |
| Enzime | adisbladis: what would you suggest for finding someone to review your PR, I remember on IRC posting my PR in the general chat was the best way to do it | 00:27:59 |

adisbladis: what would you suggest for finding someone to review your PR, I remember on IRC posting my PR in the general chat was the best way to do it Look at git history and ping relevant previous authors on github | 00:28:32 |
| hexa | maintainers should be the first contact for a review | 00:28:36 |
| hexa | sadly our maintainers situation is less than ideal | 00:28:46 |
| Enzime | and it might be nice to separate those out to a different channel so that even if everyone had it permanently muted when people have a moment they could just look at a few PRs posted | 00:29:12 |
| adisbladis | The "best" way for you perphaps, but as for the project as a whole it would be immensely annoying to constantly get pinged by PR authors in side channels | 00:29:30 |
| adisbladis | The current situation isn't ideal | 00:29:58 |
| hexa | best case: you find others who share your interest in the package and the git history is a good starting point for that | 00:30:22 |
| adisbladis | I mean... Github notifications is already spammy to the the point of being useless | 00:30:31 |
| Enzime | yeah at my day job, the solution we landed on was just posting PR links in Slack when they needed reviewing, and it seems to work alright | 00:31:05 |
