 Arian | I can give anecdotal evidence that for Mercury Nix on MacOS is an umissable part of our development workflow. There (was/is) also Shopify who blogged about their MacOS dev setups | 08:20:21 |
| Arian | Flox and Determinate Systems might also have some interesting stats as they collect telemetry | 08:20:52 |

 Mic92 | Could someone who has contact for our infrastructure sponsors (hetzner, aws, etc) share this with the NixOS orga? We would like to explicitly invite them. | 08:15:52 |

| Mic92 | fricklerhandwerk: I think ronef will contact some of them already. | 15:04:34 |
| Mic92 | * fricklerhandwerk: I think ronef will contact some of them already for CFP. | 15:04:53 |
 ronef | Mic92: sorry might have missed, what did you want me to share? :) | 17:02:08 |

Mic92: sorry might have missed, what did you want me to share? :) We wanted to invite companies that sponsor Nixos infra explicitly to NixCon. But you said today you would send some an email already. | 17:14:19 |
| ronef | Also speaking with Ampere this week to explore some of their programs to support NixOS
I'll invite them as well | 20:10:57 |
 mica | Tristan Ross would probably be interested in that, ronef | 21:01:18 |

| Tristan Ross | You know Joe Speed? | 21:02:22 |

Tristan Ross would probably be interested in that, ronef Ya, my daily driver is a 64 core Ampere Altra | 21:02:56 |
| Tristan Ross | Would be nice if I could be involved in whatever is going on between Ampere and Nix. Bit unrelated but might be related in the future: I applied to get into the Ampere Ambassador program, haven't heard anything recently. | 21:07:45 |
| ronef | Sweet! Let me see what I can do to also try and push on it with my contacts.
Lets connect and follow up on a seperate thread | 23:08:02 |

| Tristan Ross | I'm curious, what was the attendance like for NixCon NA? I'm talking to my connection at Ampere and trying to see if Ampere will be able to come to NixCon NA. | 20:47:59 |
| mica | I believe just over ~300 | 20:50:46 |
| Tristan Ross | Oh, my estimation was about right. | 20:52:03 |
| Tristan Ross | Was most of it newcomers? | 20:53:43 |
| Tristan Ross | * Was most of it newcomers to Nix? Or were there a good number of people who already knew Nix? | 20:54:08 |

| ronef | Lots of Nix @ Work use cases | 17:37:43 |
| ronef | Just made the announcement, would love to boost/cross post:

| fricklerhandwerk | ronef: absolutely great job! Not just giving us more runway and saving hard cash on infra, but also demonstrating that the foundation keeps making deals and works with ongoing user base growth | 17:48:13 |

 getpsyched | Hi. I was reading through a Discourse post which mentioned having a "contributing" tab on the header nav of nixos-homepage. I was wondering if this idea has already occurred to the marketing team in the past and intentionally decided against it or this was never really discussed. | 02:58:54 |

I was wondering if this idea has already occurred to the marketing team in the past and intentionally decided against it or this was never really discussed. We have to be quite deliberate about that real estate. There will be another round of UX work at the Zurich ZHF hackathon end of November. Here’s the latest state of affairs: https://discourse.nixos.org/t/zurich-23-11-zhf-hackathon-and-ux-workshop-report/37848
Some of the survey questions this year were designed to validate the workshop results. | 09:13:48 |

So while that sounds reasonable, I think we have to consider the information architecture as a whole rather than patching things one by one.
