matthewcroughan - nix.zone | Nope. I cannot. but there's 60~ people in this channel. I'm aiming to give 10 of them boards. | 17:34:34 |
matthewcroughan - nix.zone | I don't see the issue in trying to get boards out to people, I'm not sure what's so offensive. | 17:34:52 |
matthewcroughan - nix.zone | I of course apologise if I've done anything wrong, but my intent is to get people some boards. Nothing else really. | 17:35:28 |
Linux Hackerman | I have no problem with your intent, I have a problem with what you're doing to achieve your intent. | 17:36:21 |
Linux Hackerman | How comfortable would you feel with the person you're corresponding with reading this chat log? | 17:36:38 |
Linux Hackerman | Because no matter the technical truth or falsehood of what you wrote, I find it pretty misleading. | 17:37:21 |
matthewcroughan - nix.zone | I think you're painting a very bad picture that isn't warranted. | 17:40:15 |
matthewcroughan - nix.zone | We disagree. | 17:40:17 |
matthewcroughan - nix.zone | I haven't lied at any level to achieve what I have. | 17:40:40 |
Linux Hackerman | Have you misled? | 17:41:12 |
matthewcroughan - nix.zone | No. 60 people, 10 boards, RISC-V. | 17:41:22 |
matthewcroughan - nix.zone | I saw the progress made on the board already. | 17:41:36 |
matthewcroughan - nix.zone | * I saw the progress made on the board already in this channel. | 17:41:40 |
Alyssa Ross | Your email strongly implies you have identified 10 people, who have committed to doing the work if they get boards. | 17:42:34 |
matthewcroughan - nix.zone | Alright then, shall we cancel and give up? I don't get it? | 17:43:17 |
matthewcroughan - nix.zone | What do you want me to do exactly? | 17:43:38 |
Alyssa Ross | Please do not exaggerate or mislead people in the name of the NixOS community in future | 17:43:53 |
Yuka (she/her) | I see a bit of a problem with the phrasing, not because of the number of people, but because it raises a lot of expectations about what the people here might want to do. I would be interested in getting a board and playing with it, but I can not commit that I will actually find time for this volunteer work.
But overall I like the plan. | 17:43:53 |
matthewcroughan - nix.zone | In reply to @qyliss:fairydust.space Please do not exaggerate or mislead people in the name of the NixOS community in future I'll do whatever it is that I would like to do, in my own endeavors. | 17:44:24 |
matthewcroughan - nix.zone | I'm not representing any community. | 17:44:28 |

I would be interested in getting a board and playing with it, but I can not commit that I will actually find time for this volunteer work (or produce any good results).
But overall I like the plan. | 17:44:33 |
j-k | Will it make everyone happy if we clarify to them that there are X already prepared with plans to fill the 10-X positions at some point? And just check they're still up for it
at this point no boards have actually been sent | 17:44:47 |
j-k | * Will it make everyone happy if we clarify to them that there are X already prepared with plans to fill the remaining 10-X positions at some point? And just check they're still up for it
at this point no boards have actually been sent | 17:45:00 |
j-k | it sounds like they'd be happy with a shorter list that grows anyway | 17:45:48 |
Linux Hackerman | In reply to @matthewcroughan:defenestrate.it I'm not representing any community. Would you write that to them? "I'm not representing the NixOS community"? | 17:46:05 |
matthewcroughan - nix.zone | Sure. | 17:46:10 |
matthewcroughan - nix.zone | I've not made the claim that I am, at any stage, but I can write that. | 17:46:38 |
matthewcroughan - nix.zone | I'm a person, who uses NixOS, who is part of the NixOS community, that has some people that want to do RISC-V stuff. | 17:47:01 |
matthewcroughan - nix.zone | That is all my email has said thus far. | 17:47:06 |
Alyssa Ross | I think your email might have implied it even if you didn't mean it to | 17:47:20 |
