Guillaume Desforges | I'll make a pass today, request review, then let's schedule launch | 09:53:46 |
tea | I am sorry to be an annoyance, but does the platform this is on not provide syntax for "custom lists"? | 10:24:51 |

tea | Redacted or Malformed Event | 10:25:13 |
tea | because I think people will input these in a variety of different formats like
dream2nix, lanzaboote, drv-parts
- dream2nix
- lanzaboote
- drv-parts
dream2nix
lanzaboote
drv-parts
| 10:26:20 |
tea | it will have to be "parsed" by hand, a lot of work on surveys this large | 10:26:57 |
Guillaume Desforges | tea: I can think of a few ways to do this parsing semi automatically (done that quite often as I work in data).
If we want we can
- keep free text, try to ask people to at least follow a semantic, like one name per line
- a list with top projects, plus the ability to input custom "other"
I guess it depends, what happened for this question last year? | 11:27:40 |

raitobezarius | Hi there, marketing team! NixOS 23.05 beta is now available to everyone! | 12:31:10 |
raitobezarius | Sent an email to pr@lwn.net to discuss announcing this upcoming release | 16:02:28 |
| 24 May 2023 |
raitobezarius | I discussed with LWN:
- they would post something for 23.05, no problem (we should make this part of the RM manual or this should be for marketing team?)
- "an article about NixOS would be wecome... it is something that has been on our list to look at for a long time"
| 17:09:00 |
raitobezarius | LWN articles are paid | 17:09:05 |

@kranzes:matrix.org | In reply to @gdesforges:matrix.org On my side: - survey and announcement are ready - we plan on launching the survey on June 1st - need to define who'll post the announcement on discourse I can set the survey to unlock on June 1st if you want | 19:10:55 |
@kranzes:matrix.org | I can also post the announcement on the discourse if it's fine by you | 19:11:15 |

raitobezarius | In reply to @kranzes:matrix.org sent an image. this should probably mention nixos-unstable-small too | 19:21:34 |
raitobezarius | for nixos-(release), small is a thing but I guess it's not that important | 19:21:57 |
@kranzes:matrix.org | You think so? Is that a channel that people are even meant to be using? | 19:22:16 |
raitobezarius | It is and I use it almost everywhere | 19:22:43 |
raitobezarius | It's just nixos-unstable with less tests | 19:22:49 |
