 infinisil | Hey marketing team (cc IdaBzo), the foundation seems to continuously pay ~34 EUR/month for a Brevo subscription. Is this used for anything? Because if not, it should probably be canceled. The credentials for the account should be in the vault afaik. | 12:10:22 |
 IdaBzo | This is the newsletter tool, which hasn't been used since May 2024 (when I left the team, and then Rok left-you know the story). We're now trying to resurrect the newsletter (we even started discussing it during our Monday marketing syncs), so I think we're just about to publish the first issue of the NixOS Monthly Newsletter.
The credentials are in https://vault.nixos.org (see the entry Brevo – NixOS Marketing Team / Newsletter).
We pay €27.20 monthly because I negotiated a 20% discount with Brevo by explaining that we are a nonprofit, and they agreed.
I did a quick investigation into cheaper alternative tools, but honestly, what Rok picked years ago is still the most affordable option available. | 12:22:10 |
| infinisil | Alright, sounds fine then, unfortunate that we paid a year for something we never used | 12:24:46 |
| IdaBzo | well, the best solution would probably have been to cancel the subscription shortly after Rok left and reactivate it now-but things were a bit out of control back then | 12:26:26 |
| infinisil | IdaBzo: Are you coordinating the newsletter with the SC in any way? Seems like something they should at least be informed of. (I'd also love to provide funding via the foundation, but as you know we're still figuring out the budget) | 12:26:49 |
| IdaBzo | Not yet, because it's too early to provide anything to SC. | 12:29:25 |

| infinisil | IdaBzo djacu tomberek Florian avocadoom Hey marketing team and a-kenji! We'll soon have some confirmed NixCon 2025 sponsors. a-kenji has agreed to track perks, which notably includes a shout-out on the official social media accounts, which is the marketing teams purview. The sponsors will have a choice between the official accounts boosting their own posts (on each platform), or the official accounts making a post themselves (on each platform). The foundation board will forward this preference of the sponsor to a-kenji, who can then get in touch with the marketing team to organising the shout-out. I hope that sounds good to everybody! | 23:29:54 |
