Hello!

My name is Clayton. I'm a junior in Computer Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania. I've been daily driving NixOS since I think sophomore year of high school. I've just found out that Summer of Code applications have started, so I'm sorry if I'm late.

I've been wanting multiple instance support for my own servers, so I think Migrate some NixOS modules to modular services sounds interesting.

I've started running some services that I trust less in Docker and trying to wrap some programs in Bubblewrap, but Provide support for Mandatory Access Control sounds like a better solution, so I'd like to work on it.

Greater usage of updateScript throughout Nixpkgs sounds like a good way to decrease the load on maintainers and seems easy to approach, so working on that sounds good.

Outside of the listed projects, I've been interested in getting my Pinephone Pro to work nicely with NixOS, especially because of recent threats from Google to lock down Android more. I know there is Mobile NixOS, but as far as I can tell, Pinephone Pro support has been borked for a long time, or at least, to get it working on a new version of Mobile NixOS/Nixpkgs is a lot work and undocumented (the installer hasn't worked for a long time). I think it's also no longer officially part of the NixOS project. I would like to help make its support simpler. I haven't gotten it to complie yet (only tried it once over spring break tbc), but I believe Megi's Kernel fork (which I think could be added to nixpkgs, similar to the RPI kernel) combined with the new standard "loader?", rk2aw, would make it so there doesn't have to be anything too special about creating a working NixOS configuration for it (other than enabling drivers). I'm not really familiar with the NixOS on ARM project, but I imagine it would fit into there. I know there aren't that many people using Pinephone Pros out there, and I would be cool to work on a different device if I could get one, but I think there would be benefits to building out a device as an example to others and just getting more users to make sure mobile services are working (like Phosh).

I'm not sure what I should do next, but I assume that's the point of this channel lol. In general, I'd be happy to work on NixOS through Summer of Code so I don't have to get an internship and can work on making NixOS better.
