 Guillaume Desforges | On month left for the NixOS survey and yet we have almost as many respondents as last year!
Could we post on socials about it? | 21:40:28 |

 abathur | Not sure if there's any "market research" that could drive such conclusions, but I got this question from the Apple devrel we're in contact with and wondered if there are any Good answers before we try to shoot from the hip:
Thanks so much. How is Nix coming along in terms of market share? I thinking of things like CocoaPods and Homebrew.
(No clue why they are asking, but I suppose it could be more than idle curiosity...)

 Arian | Good question that needs a good answer.
I'm wondering if we can deduce something from the previous nix surveys on how many people are using MacOS
| 08:18:59 |
| Arian | Also stackoverflow | 08:19:08 |
| Arian | I can give anecdotal evidence that for Mercury Nix on MacOS is an umissable part of our development workflow. There (was/is) also Shopify who blogged about their MacOS dev setups | 08:20:21 |
| Arian | Flox and Determinate Systems might also have some interesting stats as they collect telemetry | 08:20:52 |

 Mic92 | Could someone who has contact for our infrastructure sponsors (hetzner, aws, etc) share this with the NixOS orga? We would like to explicitly invite them. | 08:15:52 |

| Mic92 | fricklerhandwerk: I think ronef will contact some of them already. | 15:04:34 |
| Mic92 | * fricklerhandwerk: I think ronef will contact some of them already for CFP. | 15:04:53 |
 ronef | Mic92: sorry might have missed, what did you want me to share? :) | 17:02:08 |
| Mic92 | In reply to @ronef:matrix.org
Mic92: sorry might have missed, what did you want me to share? :) We wanted to invite companies that sponsor Nixos infra explicitly to NixCon. But you said today you would send some an email already. | 17:14:19 |
| ronef | Also speaking with Ampere this week to explore some of their programs to support NixOS
I'll invite them as well | 20:10:57 |
 mica | Tristan Ross would probably be interested in that, ronef | 21:01:18 |

| Tristan Ross | You know Joe Speed? | 21:02:22 |
| Tristan Ross | In reply to @paperdigits:matrix.org
Tristan Ross would probably be interested in that, ronef Ya, my daily driver is a 64 core Ampere Altra | 21:02:56 |
| Tristan Ross | Would be nice if I could be involved in whatever is going on between Ampere and Nix. Bit unrelated but might be related in the future: I applied to get into the Ampere Ambassador program, haven't heard anything recently. | 21:07:45 |
| ronef | Sweet! Let me see what I can do to also try and push on it with my contacts.
Lets connect and follow up on a seperate thread | 23:08:02 |

|  @fleaz:rainbownerds.de left the room. | 09:38:42 |
| Tristan Ross | I'm curious, what was the attendance like for NixCon NA? I'm talking to my connection at Ampere and trying to see if Ampere will be able to come to NixCon NA. | 20:47:59 |
| mica | I believe just over ~300 | 20:50:46 |
| Tristan Ross | Oh, my estimation was about right. | 20:52:03 |
| Tristan Ross | Was most of it newcomers? | 20:53:43 |
| Tristan Ross | * Was most of it newcomers to Nix? Or were there a good number of people who already knew Nix? | 20:54:08 |

| ronef | Lots of Nix @ Work use cases | 17:37:43 |
| ronef | Just made the announcement, would love to boost/cross post:

| fricklerhandwerk | ronef: absolutely great job! Not just giving us more runway and saving hard cash on infra, but also demonstrating that the foundation keeps making deals and works with ongoing user base growth | 17:48:13 |
