 ronef | We are on a call with the Github community team and they are doing a months of maintainers in May (we are considered one of the partners)
Looking for ideas for things we would want them to amplify for us and put on the website | 16:09:53 |
| ronef | Some ideas that were thrown ->
Summer of Nix
Funding/fundraising
Grant program that we launched
Any larger meetups | 16:10:10 |
 raitobezarius | NixOS release 23.05 :) | 16:19:19 |
| raitobezarius | We will have ZHF (https://zh.fail/) in May too I guess | 16:19:54 |

Any larger meetups Could be a nice opportunity to make people aware Nix is being used in the real world as well. In the sense that, people are hiring and people want to be hired to do Nix. | 19:10:13 |

I really want to see a NixOS guest article on LWN.net Sorry for missed this ping/request from you. I'll put this on a roadmap for marketing team, but for later. I think we should establish a relationship with few websites to help us boost the release. Maybe in a form of posting guest articles. | 09:56:07 |
| raitobezarius | You should definitely email Jonathan who is very open I think | 09:56:46 |
| raitobezarius | LWN.net is not your average "general tech news" journal though | 09:56:57 |
| raitobezarius | It's catered to a professional / highly technical audience who likes semi gory details and accuracy | 09:57:20 |
| garbas | @hexa and raitobezarius when would it be ok for you to meet and go over the highlights of 23.05 NixOS release? | 09:57:33 |
| raitobezarius | So there's a lot of potential to do interesting stuff that can also benefit the NixOS project | 09:57:34 |

@hexa and raitobezarius when would it be ok for you to meet and go over the highlights of 23.05 NixOS release? We have been discussing this in the #nixos-release-management:nixos.org | 09:57:43 |
| raitobezarius | With Bryan Honof | 09:57:46 |
| raitobezarius | It's date choosing time at the moment | 09:57:56 |
| garbas | 👍️ I'll let Bryan handle it from here on | 09:58:26 |
| garbas | raitobezarius: did you discuss the live Q/A session or the call of going over the recordings or both? or both at the same time :P | 09:59:57 |
| raitobezarius | I only know about the live Q&A session | 10:00:11 |
| garbas | s/recordings/highlights/ | 10:00:29 |
| garbas | aha ok, I was asking above for going over the release highlights | 10:00:55 |
| raitobezarius | I suppose it makes sense to go over the highlights | 10:00:56 |
| raitobezarius | But if we go over the highlights, it means we need to be at a moment where we locked out the scope | 10:01:06 |
| garbas | I assume some highlights are already "locked in", right? we could go over them and see if we can promote these changes somehow. | 10:02:15 |
| garbas | and maybe some are in "almost done" state and we could also prepare the marketing material for them. | 10:02:41 |
| garbas | I'd let you choose the format of the live Q/A session. I'd like to just help out where we can. | 10:03:32 |
| raitobezarius | It's not easy for me to know the audience for such a call, the release notes are "big" so going through each one of them might not be interesting, we have a lot of new services | 10:03:47 |
| raitobezarius | e.g. we could talk about new fediverse services | 10:03:52 |
| raitobezarius | and if we go this way, we still have some PRs inflight on that | 10:04:03 |
| garbas | Ok lets do a separate call about the highlights then. Would that be ok with you? | 10:04:24 |
| garbas | And the Q/A session we can just use to promote the work of the release team and have it as a "call for help" to finish 23.05. | 10:05:17 |
