 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: 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 |
| 21 Aug 2024 |
| ronef | Lots of Nix @ Work use cases | 17:37:43 |
| ronef | Just made the announcement, would love to boost/cross post:
