SigmaSquadron | An update to this: the Xen team wrote an updated version of that article together, and we'd like to send it to upstream on a more official capacity. Thus, I'd like to ask permission from the marketing team to send the following text to the Xen Project, which will then publish it on their homepage with a link to https://nixos.org | 17:47:57 |

[0x4A6F] | Since 24.11, the Xen Project now has its own functioning options, available under the virtualisation.xen.* option set.
There seems to be a further history of this option set down the history lane of that other repo:

oh yeah, the xen options were available since forever, but they were also broken since forever, so we pretend they didn't exist. | 21:50:57 |

tomberek | Overall, yes. Once you're happy with the article, it is a good thing to put out. Do they also have some article about Nix/NixOS? | 00:31:30 |

crertel | Hi!
I was redirected here to discuss things. I've made some PRs, some merged, some stalled, some pending, some closed. I'm happy to follow process, but I'd also like to be able to productively use my time and Github issues seems like a perfectly reasonable way of working out in the open (and discoverability for Matrix is suboptimal for discussion and decisonmaking when compared with forge tooling).
The PRs in question I'd like feedback on on pushing forward:
- https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-homepage/pull/1587 -- This one is about closing 1511, a pretty straightforward request by somebody ( fricklerhandwerk I think?) to start debloating the community page.
- https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-homepage/pull/1573 -- This one is about trying to figure out how to make security front-and-center on the site as something the NixOS distribution cares about. Currently, it's kinda buried in the community security team page--and working on this has shown that the email alias for
security@nixos.org seems to be either busted or have spotty connectivity to the folks on the security team (based on testing). The thing here is that I don't actually know what the security policy should be (though I have guesses) and I'm trying to avoid telling the security folks how to do their job. I was kinda hoping we could workshop the PR and get to a good place with stakeholders (as has happened successfully with, for example, the extensive work on the immich PR).
Thanks!
