@kity:kity.wtfproblemsi think the big takeaway i have from the article is that no matter what decision-making process you use, the decision doesn't need to be final, it can be valuable to keep it an open conversation even after a plan of action is decided17:20:46
@rick:matrix.ciphernetics.nlRick (Mindavi)I also think that requiring some technical implementation to go with your arguments helps weed out at least impossible or very impractical things17:22:08

@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisil tomberek: Thanks, Request accepted! 15:20:38
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisil tomberek: From your availability, it looks like the current time of 15:00 UTC doesn't work for you right? Moving it to 18:00 UTC is quite late though, that would be 20:00 for most European people 15:22:07

@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisilFor transparency, I am currently contracting part-time (25%) for Flox (also did on and off in the past). My past work for Flox is where a part of the motivation for an architectural nixpkgs redesign comes from, since they're heavy users of nixpkgs and have run into problems with its inconsistencies15:33:26
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisilMy time on this team however is sponsored by Tweag, and all my opinions are my own, I started this team from my own motivation, it's not something Tweag asked me to do :)15:34:46
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisil Having worked with tomberek in the past I think he's a good fit for the team from his experience and motivation for Nix and nixpkgs :D 15:36:02
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisil
  • Added an entry for tomberek to https://github.com/nixpkgs-architecture/team-log
  • Added to the current team list: https://github.com/nixpkgs-architecture#current-team
  • Invited to the github organization

@roberthensing:matrix.orgRobert Hensing (roberth) Hi, I'd like to be a Nixpkgs Architecture Team member. My motivation for joining: I want Nix to succeed, and Nix can only succeed with a healthy Nixpkgs. I've been monitoring the PR queue for architecturally relevant or otherwise interesting changes, but that only goes so far. With this team, we can facilitate larger, more impactful changes. I'd also like to join the GitHub team (as @roberth) My time will be sponsored by Hercules CI. The current meeting time slot works for me. Thank you @infinisil for pointing me here.17:01:06
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisil Awesome! I have a lot of trust in you Robert Hensing (roberth), I've really enjoyed working with you on various issues regarding the NixOS module system :D 17:03:56
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisil I'd like to accept your application, but I need to check with the only other current team member. tomberek do you also agree with Robert Hensing (roberth) joining the team? 17:04:34

@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisil Awesome, welcome to the team then Robert Hensing (roberth)! I added an entry for you in the team log and the team list, you were also invited into the github organization :) 18:03:50
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisil Robert Hensing (roberth): Do you want an invite to the meetings? That way you automatically get email updates when it changes and can RSVP. I'd need an email for that (can PM me) 18:04:49
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisilAlso open to non-members by the way, let me know if anybody wants an email invite to the weekly meetings18:06:21
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisilI created a project board to track issues this team might work on: https://github.com/orgs/nixpkgs-architecture/projects/2/views/221:12:51
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisilI added some items myself, and I'll probably add more soon, but anybody is free to open new issues here that they'd like the nixpkgs architecture team to address: https://github.com/nixpkgs-architecture/issues/issues21:14:10
