 avocadoom | I'll just remove it for now | 09:45:27 |
| avocadoom | But in general communicating more clearly what is the current release and when the last release will be EOLed without a banner is something we can think about | 09:53:27 |
| avocadoom | Out of curiosity, can we infer the EOL date and the date of the current NixOS release from the current NixOS release nixpkgs? | 10:02:13 |
 lennart | not sure if I understood correctly, but does this help? https://github.com/NixOS/infra/blob/main/channels.nix you could parse the git log I guess? | 21:19:19 |
| lennart | fully agree on the thoughts about UI and UX, and thanks for responding and acting so fast! happy to hear you have this notice in mind :) | 21:20:09 |

 @idabzo:matrix.org | scheduled, goes in 43 minutes (12pm Europe/Berlin); they use linkedin and bluesky as well, so I tagged them in the posts | 09:17:47 |
 Pol | I just noticed that the NixOS logo has been updated, in recognition of Pride Month. I understand that this change is meant to reflect and signal that the Nix community is inclusive and supportive of diversity. Don't you think it might be a good idea to accompany this visual change with a short blog post (or official statement) ?
Such a post could briefly explain the reason for the logo update, reaffirm the inclusive values of the Nix community, and outline the stance the project takes on diversity and belonging in open source.
WDYT? | 14:01:03 |
 hexa | uh, did anyone remove 2fa from our twitter account? | 14:35:46 |
| hexa | cc IdaBzo | 14:35:50 |
| hexa | or was that reenabled | 14:36:06 |
| hexa | got an email last night | 14:36:11 |

WDYT? I think that would be nice, but I'd probably let that go through SC approval | 15:05:52 |
| infinisil | Or just a heads-up at least | 15:07:32 |
| Pol | The thing is that it would have been nice to do it at the same time as the logo update | 15:07:48 |
| Pol | You know sometimes Google change the logo and when you click on the logo you are redirected to the Google Search related to the logo update... | 15:08:18 |
| Pol | It would have been nice to have something similar. | 15:08:29 |

The thing is that it would have been nice to do it at the same time as the logo update could still wait for june 28 | 16:00:14 |
| SigmaSquadron | not very international, but the stonewall anniversary is when you do everything you forgot to do on the 1st of june | 16:00:38 |

| @idabzo:matrix.org | yup, and to set it back, I need someone with an access to webmaster@ email | 17:59:03 |
| hexa | that currently forwards to infra@ | 17:59:40 |
| hexa | so feel free to DM whenever | 17:59:46 |

| Pol | Why wait so long ? | 11:13:46 |
| SigmaSquadron | In reply to @drupol:matrix.org
Why wait so long ? the 28th is possibly the most significant date during pride month. If you care about announcing things during specific dates instead of whenever you remember to, the 28th is when you want to do so. | 11:18:03 |
| infinisil | IdaBzo: What are all the accounts that the marketing team is set up to easily post and repost NixCon sponsor announcements to? | 18:50:10 |
