 hexa | oh | 06:18:48 |
| hexa | so how does archiving work 🤔 | 06:19:19 |
| hexa | ok, got it | 06:23:03 |
 @idabzo:matrix.org | who has an access to webmaster@nixos.org?
I recently created an account on Bluesky for the Nix Foundation, but I am unable to start posting because I need a verification code | 11:08:38 |
 toonn | Is that really something the foundation should be doing? | 11:27:34 |
| @idabzo:matrix.org | our community is there, shouldn't we follow? | 11:30:52 |
| toonn | I don't think that's an implied need. I'm also confused why someone who supposedly claims to represent the foundation wouldn't have access to a foundation e-mail address already. | 11:33:40 |
 Arian | What is the Nix Foundation. is it something else than the NixOS Foundation? | 11:42:09 |
| Arian | toonn I think infra team has been managing the email infrastructure so far so makes sense to ask here I think. We might not even have webmaster@ set up | 11:44:56 |
| @idabzo:matrix.org | Thank you for your time and valuable insights. I appreciate your input and will look for a solution elsewhere | 11:49:55 |
| Arian | I think we can also do bluesky verification with a DNS TXT record | 11:55:21 |
|  @9lore:tchncs.de left the room. | 14:00:53 |
| toonn | Arian: I'm not saying this isn't an appropriate place to ask. I'm just surprised that someone who supposedly represents the foundation wouldn't already have access to a foundation email address. | 14:17:37 |
 emily | webmaster@ isn't the foundation address though right? | 14:20:28 |
| Arian | they’re part of the nix marketing team | 14:20:28 |
| emily | I assume this is just bluesky using webmaster@ as a domain verification protocol per RFCs | 14:20:40 |
| emily | and the actual account is @nixos.org or whatever | 14:20:45 |
| emily | (though I guess in a Steering Committee world it might make sense to separate Foundation control of social media accounts and project control of them? but seems like a wider topic given there are already existing accounts) | 14:21:38 |
| hexa | eelco and rok | 15:22:03 |
| @idabzo:matrix.org | Dear all, once again, thank you for your valuable input on this topic. I believe we can now consider this discussion concluded, as this is the right time to do so.
If you have any further thoughts or insights, the Marketing team would be happy to hear from you. Our weekly team syncs are open to everyone, and we encourage you to join the conversation. You can find the details in the official NixOS calendar: https://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/0/embed?src=b9o52fobqjak8oq8lfkhg3t0qg@group.calendar.google.com | 15:25:52 |
| @idabzo:matrix.org | thank you hexa (signing key rotation when) ! | 15:26:07 |
 infinisil | IdaBzo: hexa (signing key rotation when): Just opened https://github.com/NixOS/org/pull/75 to document email addresses, which then also allows requesting new ones with further PRs | 15:27:50 |
 fpletz | Not an official SC decision but my personal opinion: In general the SC's goal has been to empower individual teams. So the marketing team should probably have primary control of the existing social media accounts and whether to create new ones, possibly with oversight and/or fallback by the SC. If any team needs guidance or wants a decision on a governance issue, feel free to send the SC a message via email or discourse pm and we will take care of it (also in coordination with the foundation board if needed). IMHO in this case everything went like it should have - except that it might be more appropriate to deliver mails to webmaster@ to the infra team instead. ;) | 15:52:05 |
| @idabzo:matrix.org | The reason I initially asked about webmaster@nixos.org is that, until now, all marketing tools—such as the newsletter platform and social media postings—have been linked to this email. This was because Rok Garbas had access to it, as noted in this GitHub discussion - https://github.com/NixOS/org/pull/75 .
Given this, my assumption was that we needed to continue linking everything to webmaster@. However, I now see that this is not necessary—fortunately! | 15:58:57 |
| hexa | IdaBzo: if you need any help to get the verification sorted - I'm here. | 16:10:47 |
