In reply to @fricklerhandwerk:matrix.org
The NixOS Google Calendar has only a small set of people with write permission, essentially those running official teams. The Discourse community calendar is for everyone else. So far we haven’t found a good way to convey that, and the nixos.org is too messed up to incorporate the information there in a nice way.ryantm could you link the Google Calendari in the community calendar top post with appropriate information?
That would be great. Having a single place linking different calendars is a good step forward

@tonyfinn:matrix.orgtonyfinnI think I indicated elsewhere I was going to join today's meeting, but I found out my new team in work has a demo at that time, so won't be joining10:47:49
@i97henka:matrix.orghenrik-chCall today in 30 minutes?13:28:59
@asymmetric:matrix.dapp.org.ukasymmetric Not gonna make it today 😢 13:39:19
@pennae:matrix.eno.spacepennaesame, again :/13:39:57
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisilI won't be there today either due to a conflicting meeting13:40:21

cross-reporting from #marketing:nixos.org (https://matrix.to/#/!tPxtoBdChSsxHuBlNW:nixos.org/$PgasljhyDuZ2RX2W1XUzjc8CaaOuMyIaDKds7_5YwXk?via=matrix.org&via=nixos.dev&via=nixos.org) but someone in #nix:nixos.org reported that there are no titles in the links on https://nixos.org/learn.html

a quick skim makes me think these are sourced from nix.dev and I see the nix.dev flake consumed in the homepage repo, so I'm guessing this is a side-effect some restructuring the doc team is working on?

@zmitchell:matrix.org@zmitchell:matrix.orgThey are sourced from nix.dev, but I'm not exactly sure how.22:55:35
@fricklerhandwerk:matrix.orgfricklerhandwerkOh yes, that's the problem. Maybe we can just stop the including altogether: https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-homepage/pull/105422:57:12

@asymmetric:matrix.dapp.org.ukasymmetricis it on purpose that on the board, when a PR is merged it gets marked as "postponed", rather than "done"? https://github.com/orgs/NixOS/projects/15/workflows/194606812:22:31
@zmitchell:matrix.org@zmitchell:matrix.orgAlmost certainly not13:00:07
@j-k:matrix.orgj-kswapped it now, can mention it in the call now or the normal docs call later today13:02:12
@fricklerhandwerk:matrix.orgfricklerhandwerkI disabled the workflows to add documentation-related things from Nixpkgs, NixOS, and Nix. It's way too much stuff we can't work off anyway, and will probably even be overwhelming for dedicated maintainers. I take care of the Nix manual already, so probably no need to dump that on the team unless there are broader issues.13:08:25
@asymmetric:matrix.dapp.org.ukasymmetric

i don't know if i'll be able to join the meeting today, so here's a little status update:

  • been mostly busy with maintaining nixdoc: want to understand rnix well, so can keep it up to date (and incorporate work from pennae that bumps rnix/rowan)
  • this also has lead me to review, and apply to become a shepherd for, the doc-comments RFC
  • i also started looking into how nix.dev can look+feel more official, and opened a couple PRs there

i think both of these will keep me busy for the next couple of weeks

@charles:computer.surgeryCharles Does Nix/NixOS have an equivalent documentation page to https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Help:Reading#Installation_of_packages? 02:59:21
@charles:computer.surgeryCharlesI ask because I personally can't recall encountering such a thing (I've been using NixOS for nearly 2 years now I think), and if there really isn't one, I would be interested in trying to contribute it03:11:56
