 tomberek | A few years ago (early 2022) the number of people joining the Nix/NixOS Discord was about 10 per day. We are at about 20-30 per day now, fairly steady and continuous. There is a ongoing growth there that reflects interest in the underlying value proposition. | 01:44:29 |
 @gdesforges:matrix.org | Hey ppl, FYI we are working on the survey here #survey:nixos.org and on this repo https://github.com/GuillaumeDesforges/nix-survey | 07:24:25 |
| @gdesforges:matrix.org | I'm looking to move the content in this repo to a repo shared by the community. Théophane has suggested to make it a subdirectory of the marketing repo.
I'd be fine with that.
WDYT? | 07:25:45 |

WDYT? Sounds good. Do you need any help with this? I'm trying to get help from infra team to update our instance of LimeSurvey.
Also do you have any ETA when we will release this survey. End of May like usual?
| 11:07:48 |
| @gdesforges:matrix.org | We are currently designing questions. Anyone is free to contribute. You can have a look at the survey design here: https://github.com/GuillaumeDesforges/nix-survey/blob/master/2024/survey.yaml (see README for more info) | 11:10:05 |

No ETA. First time I'm doing this entirely so I have no idea. Basically: ASAP.

It is not needed, but it would be nice to since we're quite some features behind and some nice options were added (eg. aliases). But I agree having a survey out as soon as we can should be the priority. | 11:17:28 |
| garbas | Guillaume Desforges: Do you need more help with the survey? Or is more people at this point only adding to chaos? How do we know it is ready? :) Sorry I have bunch of questions and I'd like to help if nothing to send contributors your way... Would you have a chance to join marketing meeting this week? | 11:20:27 |

I think Théophane did extensive pushes to Nix teams already. Some people who had assumptions they wanted to test have gotten involved (mainly the doc, UX and core maintainers teams).
IMO it's progressing. No need for more hands, but maybe just keep spread the word among Nix team leaders.
| 03:09:08 |
| @gdesforges:matrix.org |
How do we know it is ready?
Good question. Design phase can be considered done when we have stabilized (e.g. no discussion for a few days).
Then implementation from the doc is straightforward.
| 03:11:13 |
| tomberek | Guillaume Desforges: perhaps something about participation/contribution? "what would help you contribute more often to Nixpkgs? to NixOS? to Nix?" | 03:11:57 |
| @gdesforges:matrix.org | The part where I'll need most help will be publication: last year we did not publicize enough. I feel like we should add a banner everywhere we can on official resources (nixos.org, NixOS Wiki, ...) and make recurrent communication on socials. | 03:12:15 |
| @gdesforges:matrix.org | Please come to #survey:nixos.org to discuss this :) | 03:12:53 |

 @idabzo:matrix.org | Hey, I'm not able to make it and I have to skip our meeting today. Just to confirm: the newsletter should be ready to send by the end of this week, correct? | 18:09:19 |
| tomberek | I'm triple-booked with the Nix team and a work meeting... sorry. | 20:05:47 |
| tomberek | I'm trying to document swag sources/providers here: https://github.com/NixOS/marketing/pull/2 (is this already somewhere else?) | 20:06:49 |

You could also add https://nix-anarchy.myspreadshop.de/ That's great, but the page is more about where we can produce Nix swag, not a source for already designed swag :D but having a list for that would also be great | 20:52:24 |

| garbas | djacu: tomberek: one thing I forgot was we should write a shorter post about the Scale + NixCon NA, nothing long just some text with few pictures. I'll start it in a PR but I would need pictures since I only have one :) | 21:48:00 |

 @piegames:matrix.org | What is the current state and usage of the NixOS Twitter account? | 11:08:37 |
| avocadoom | The Twitter/x Account is as far as i know played out to from Buffer as the other accounts are too. It is on par with the rest of the accounts content wise. Or what kind of state or usage does your question refer to? | 11:52:46 |
