| matthewcroughan | 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 is primarily European. Just thought it'd be good to diversify a bit. | 01:56:53 |
| matthewcroughan | 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 | 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 | If you saw how this server works, you'd understand. It's just the way it works. | 02:00:02 |
| matthewcroughan | This is how corporates like to operate. | 02:00:08 |
| matthewcroughan | So a company like Intel has no central chat room. They have presences in chat rooms. | 02:00:39 |
| matthewcroughan | 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 | 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 | The fragmentation of the "small community" is evidence of growth anyway. So I don't understand your aversion to it. | 02:03:39 |
| matthewcroughan | 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 |
