however you spin it, in person meetings excludes those who can not come.

No doubt.

i understand you find them efficient because you can be there. but not all have the luxury to go there.

I know very well what it means not to be able to be present where the action is, and I appreciate just as much that it's a luxury most can't afford for a number of reasons.

Fact is though, there will always be in-person meetings, and we'll have to figure out how to make the best of all kinds of interactions that happen.

Hey team
I'm looking at the nixos-homepage main branch and trying to figure out how people are starting the astro dev environment. The only thing I see in the flake is a package for building the site the old way. Am I missing something?

In reply to @hexa:lossy.network
that's not happening on main, but on astro/* branches

In reply to @djacu:matrix.org
I took a look at the branches and the only active one I see is astro/landingpage which hasn't change the flake.nix file significantly. So I'm still confused as to how people are developing astro components and testing them without astro available.

Astro is an npm module. It's not a thing you have to install globally like hugo or jekyll.

Jonas Chevalier: I would really like to understand what goals would you like to achieve with a more focused branding strategy.

Just so you understand current goals of the marketing team: (1) attract new nixers - OUTreach (2) engage community to collaborate - INreach, i know it is not a word but i think you will understand :)

If you would ask me what is the most urgent task at hand that we are struggling to do I think I was laud at the NixCon about it. We need to rework the website. We already have a messaging plan and the vision/strategy after that, but it is hard to do the first step, since it is not small amount of effort.

I think this is a bit more upstream and complementary.

What a good branding strategy does for you is to provide clarity. it helps establish things like what is our identity, tone, value proposition, what are our values, ... that helps create a tone, more consistent feel, and communicate more clearly.

As developers, we tend to view the website in terms of functional changes only, and it's hard to get the website right without these other dimensions.

Same with the social media posts. The branding strategy can act as a filter and give a more directed feeling to the posts.

Does that make sense?
