 phaer | Looking forward to see some of you at the meetup tomorrow! https://nixos.at/posts/meetup-2025-04-07/ | 13:24:27 |

| phaer | Hello - I very much enjoyed the meetup yesterday and hope you did as well & thank you to everyone who participated!
Great to see there's quite some interest in restarting this user group! I counted 14 people at one point and know that not everyone could make it.
We decided to do quarterly meetups going forward, starting with next month, May, already!
The idea behind this schedule is that we'll have a NixOS release every other meetup (in May and November) and can use that to discuss upcoming features as well as to help with triaging and fixing bugs right before the release in a "hackathon" setting.
For the two remaining meetups (in August and February) we'll have talks in the beginning. We don't have a concrete schedule yet, but two great proposals: Martin Schwaighofer will present his work around supply-chain security, signing schemes and source provenance and @arnarg his nixidy project to deploy kubernetes infra from nix source.

| phaer | In terms of a bug squashing party / hackathon before the reelase, would you be interested in starting a bit earlier to have more time available? i.e 15 or 16h on a Friday or so? Feel free to comment on details, or just leave a 👍️/👎️ reaction | 11:22:42 |
 knedlsepp | I enjoyed the meeting as well. ♥️ Thanks to the organisers!
Also great initiative to do more regular meetups.
I'm abroad the entire next month, so won't make it, but I hope you guys have fun and maybe some people can make the leap from user to contributor. 🤞🥳 | 14:51:26 |

| phaer | Save the date! we are most likely going to have the hackathon on Fr, 2025-05-09 starting at 16h. Location is gt_, same as the last meetup. We'll walk through at least a few issues together and try to make it interesting for people of all skill levels. :)
A more detailed announcement will follow. Let either fschn90 or myself know if you want to help organizing this.

 martin | I finally published a blog post on switching to NixOS yesterday: https://push-f.com/posts/2025-05-01-nixos/ | 06:36:10 |
| martin | I made the pictured sticker with a recently acquired vinyl cutter and I'll bring a bunch of such stickers to the hackathon next week ;) | 06:37:25 |
 Patrizio | How long did you take to get your initial nix system up and running? 😊 | 06:47:18 |
| zupo left the room. | 06:54:38 |
| martin | I started with my laptop and got a usable setup in a day. Migrating my VPS did take me a couple months also because I took the opportunity to rewrite some Python in Go and set up some monitoring and scheduled jobs I didn't have before. Systemd timers are quite neat :) | 07:21:59 |
| martin | * | 07:22:49 |
| Patrizio | Nice. I initially also had a usable setup for a desktop in halve an hour back then. And after testing it in a vm I was blown away how good it worked. I straight reinstalled my main working machine then 😁 | 07:37:57 |
| phaer | nice read, thank you for sharing! | 08:56:04 |
| phaer | One week left until our next meetup, the "zero hydra fails hackathon" for the 25.05 release! https://nixos.at/posts/meetup-2025-05-09/
| 08:59:52 |
| phaer | Basics are in place, we should have seats, power and an uplink for everyone. There's drinks and a small kitchen available locally and we can order food for dinner (awaiting foundations response on funding request). | 09:03:00 |
| phaer | Looking forward to see many of you there! If you want to explore, prepare or start hacking early, the Zero Hydra Fails campaign for 25.05 started yesterday and the issue contains a nice description of the whole thing and a list of done and on-going issues later on in the thread: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/403336 | 09:04:25 |

Hi, looking forward to tomorrows event! There will be space, uplink and nice people. There should also be enough power outlets but brining your own power strip (steckerleiste) might help. We'll also provide some very basic snacks and propose do grab some take away at nearby options together.
Can't wait to see you all! | 13:15:02 |
| 9 May 2025 |
| phaer | See you all in ~5h!
I'll bring a local passthru-cache for cache.nixos.org to maybe ease the load on our uplink. Also submitted ZHF fixes for packages I maintain, so that I am free to help with other stuff, discuss, learn and hack together | 08:55:10 |
| Martin Schwaighofer | Do you have an idea about at what time the hackathon will end? 🤔 | 13:14:48 |
| phaer | When the last participant goes to sleep? Otherwise: Not really, we might have to provide a list of people on the premise for staying beyond 10 PM, but we didn't really plan for a time to end. I personally plan to be there at least until 10PM, maybe a bit longer but probably not by too much.
Are you considering to join later on, or whats the context?
| 13:19:00 |
| Martin Schwaighofer | Yeah, I want to join, but I'll be late. 😅 | 14:04:24 |
