| aielias | Hey there, I'm Ilya or Elias whichever you prefer. I'm a system administrator at a small internet provider in the middle of nowhere. I recently discovered Nix because of my love for scale-able infrastructure and my frustration with using Ansible to directly provision all aspects of Debian systems. I've enjoyed learning about the declarative approach nix takes and am excited about the potential Nix provides to remove certain tech debt and inefficiencies incurred by containerized deployment solutions.
I"m going to be looking into the "nixpkgs library networking functions" idea provided by the Nix Team. Is anyone already interested in this? I have a basic familiarity with the "python ip address lib" having written a script to monitor public ip usage for the ISP I work for.
Anyway I'll be here and digging around into the topic further, excited to talk with some lovely folks! | 15:50:20 |

 FPenjoyer | Should I consider reaching out to @Ericson2314, a potential mentor for the Nix Internals: Use std::filesystem::path for Path project, to seek their feedback on my GSoC proposal before submission? I can't find him on this channel. | 17:19:13 |

| Giovanni Torelli | Hello everyone. My name is Giovanni Torelli and I'm a beginner programmer that loves software development, I want to be a gsoc contributor and I would love to have some advice about how I could be chosen. Thanks in advance | 11:23:11 |
| Giovanni Torelli | I intend to contribute on the improvement of JSON format as I think that it's the project that I'm more qualified for now. I'm trying to become a Linux power user but I'm just at the beginning of this journey as I'm learning more about dot files and using vim as my primary text editor. | 11:26:58 |
| Giovanni Torelli | I read about the issues involving the need to merge ParsedDerivation into BasicDerivation and improve the JSON formatting, but I also would like a more detailed description about the issue if possible. I would be very grateful if someone could provide more detail | 11:46:10 |

| @sinan:sinanmohd.com | Hi everyone I am sinan, I'm a NixOS maintainer and 3rd year undergrad student,
I got into Nix and NixOS by maintaining my home server, it acts as everything
from my router and authoritative DNS server to my mail and matrix server, i
don't think it would be as to fun maintain it without NixOS reproducibility,
immutability, and declarative nature, It's what got me interested in Nix and NixOS.
I also like to use flakes for my projects so I can reproduce my dev environment
anywhere | 16:44:01 |
| @sinan:sinanmohd.com | I'm interested in Nixpkgs analytics: nixpkgs-review with a time-budget and
adding nixpkgs library networking functions, it will directly help me as I'm
running NixOS on my PC and servers I maintain,
I'd also like to improve support for pppd and stalwart mail (something like
simple-nixos-mailserver, but fully upstreamed), as of now I'm using an out of
tree module for both
I'm comfortable with c, go, nix, /bin/sh, python, oop, and lua. I'm not as good
with python, but I've written python libraries for a networking project before.
