| tomberek | Might be a fun social thing from NixCon NA:
"A hard fought contest, but Nix community came together at SCALE to bring NixOS VMs to everyone who wanted to try it out."

| ibizaman | garbas I started work on setting up a devbox. Just got root access today to a beefy server with 128Gb of memory and NixOS.
As we discussed, plan is to have everyone share that box so we can all share the same cache and ppl do not need to install nix locally. I will report back soon on how adoption goes. | 05:37:26 |

Good luck with Nix adoption. Let us know how it goes. I would be interested if this idea of introducing Nix at work would work (again). | 07:48:16 |

I would suggest me, you and djacu can write a report about NixCon NA after the Marketing meeting on Wed next week (now that we actually have a blog). What do you think? | 07:50:48 |

Good luck with Nix adoption. Let us know how it goes. I would be interested if this idea of introducing Nix at work would work (again). I think I have one advantage here. Two years ago I introduced property testing and the whole team was skeptic for various good reasons. But then it actually found undiscovered bugs so the team was sold and they evangelize using proper testing to other teams. I’m hoping that will help them trust me more this time around even if they’re skeptic at first. 🤞 | 14:32:08 |

| tomberek | A few years ago (early 2022) the number of people joining the Nix/NixOS Discord was about 10 per day. We are at about 20-30 per day now, fairly steady and continuous. There is a ongoing growth there that reflects interest in the underlying value proposition. | 01:44:29 |
 Guillaume Desforges | Hey ppl, FYI we are working on the survey here #survey:nixos.org and on this repo https://github.com/GuillaumeDesforges/nix-survey | 07:24:25 |
| Guillaume Desforges | I'm looking to move the content in this repo to a repo shared by the community. Théophane has suggested to make it a subdirectory of the marketing repo.
I'd be fine with that.
WDYT? | 07:25:45 |

WDYT? Sounds good. Do you need any help with this? I'm trying to get help from infra team to update our instance of LimeSurvey.
Also do you have any ETA when we will release this survey. End of May like usual?
| 11:07:48 |
| Guillaume Desforges | We are currently designing questions. Anyone is free to contribute. You can have a look at the survey design here: https://github.com/GuillaumeDesforges/nix-survey/blob/master/2024/survey.yaml (see README for more info) | 11:10:05 |

No ETA. First time I'm doing this entirely so I have no idea. Basically: ASAP.

It is not needed, but it would be nice to since we're quite some features behind and some nice options were added (eg. aliases). But I agree having a survey out as soon as we can should be the priority. | 11:17:28 |
| garbas | Guillaume Desforges: Do you need more help with the survey? Or is more people at this point only adding to chaos? How do we know it is ready? :) Sorry I have bunch of questions and I'd like to help if nothing to send contributors your way... Would you have a chance to join marketing meeting this week? | 11:20:27 |
