| bpiv400 | Nice overview of traffic to the website available for free: https://www.similarweb.com/website/nixos.org/#overview | 17:43:53 |
| bpiv400 | Wrote up a description of what I'm trying to do with the Nix by the numbers project: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_vAn3SlDrL-_8XjRA5-nhI_ZSi3Iwdb9aVCCYeArrVw/edit?usp=sharing | 17:53:20 |
| bpiv400 | Will talk to the core infra team about what stats we can get on cache usage | 17:53:32 |

| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | I must say, i love the amount of memes occurring. | 01:54:59 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | This is how you know something will succeed. | 01:55:11 |

| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | I think Nix has a lot of room to succeed in the embedded Linux space in the near future. Especially as Risc-V becomes better supported. So, I got the guy who runs the "Developer Ecosystem" Discord to open up a #nix room. | 01:56:04 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | https://discord.gg/kvd6xTjDvC | 01:56:20 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | This room is filled with all sorts of people from the embedded Linux industry. And there's quite a few Americans in here. | 01:56:43 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | Nix is primarily European. Just thought it'd be good to diversify a bit. | 01:56:53 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | The server has around 2.3K members, of which they're all mostly working on the same stuff cleverca22 is working on. | 01:57:51 |

| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | a lot of the work that has gone into UEFi firmware on the pi4 has came out of this server, funnily enough | 01:59:07 |
| davidak | i don't think it makes sense to further fragment the small community. we have official chat rooms | 01:59:23 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | If you saw how this server works, you'd understand. It's just the way it works. | 02:00:02 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | This is how corporates like to operate. | 02:00:08 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | So a company like Intel has no central chat room. They have presences in chat rooms. | 02:00:39 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | If the people in that server come to enjoy Nix, it will be great for us, because they are a hive of embedded developers that have yet to see it. | 02:01:25 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | TL;DR, I cannot shill Nix amongst embedded developers without doing that, so I don't understand what you're saying about official chatrooms. I can't just give them a link, that's illegal in this context. | 02:02:57 |

| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | The fragmentation of the "small community" is evidence of growth anyway. So I don't understand your aversion to it. | 02:03:39 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | Linux is fragmented, because it is huge. I don't view Nix as particularly fragmented as you do, it's clear where the official sources are, the Forums and Matrix are the clear places to go (to me). | 02:04:40 |
| davidak | why not? instead give them an unofficial chat room at some random discord? | 02:04:16 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | The banner of the channel points to https://nixos.org. Your concerns are not real :P | 02:08:47 |
| davidak | it gets more fragmented when you create another unofficial chat room and that will lead to worse user experience. why should they come there and not to the official ones?
isn't that obvious? | 02:09:33 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | No it is not obvious and I disagree with you. I feel as if you're just arguing for the sake of it. | 02:09:49 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | FWIW, marketing and virality aren't about stopping people from doing things. | 02:11:33 |
