naming these things is so hard, I really really really hope Matrix finds a way to associate grouping metadata wit the display soon * This is a hard problem because a room can be a member of multiple spaces. There has been some talk about a room's "main space" which may help but I think this is way down the road.
For now I generally try to name a room based on how you would like it to show up in your room list, so generally a short uniqueish string first, then a suffix with a "group" like Nix or NixOS. Then I like to put some disambiguation in the topic. This seems to be fairly well expected but I assume it isn't universal.

 Domen Kožar | I call these things Nix ecosystem, but it's a mouthful | 12:12:50 |
| Domen Kožar | Nix* gives it a *Nix vibe so it's slightly less vague than Nix :D | 12:13:14 |
| Domen Kožar | we should rename the project to The Nix Way and be done with it ^^ | 12:14:54 |

i didn't joined the "Nix Teams" yet, but i can filter ; maybe i didn't understand what you mean You can filter precisely because they're duplicated. If they were just in subspaces you wouldn't be able to. | 12:16:07 |
 pinage404 | so it's a "hack" to bypass a matrix issue ? | 12:17:24 |
 @grahamc:nixos.org | please hold discussion elsewhere, otherwise it is very difficult to keep up with requests | 12:27:00 |

| @grahamc:nixos.org | * please hold discussion elsewhere, otherwise it is very difficult to keep up with requests (I think this came off a bit grumpier than I intended. I'm not grumpy about it :) just a periodic reminder) | 12:28:48 |
 7c6f434c | Suggestion: create a room specifically for discussions of suggestions and directly related issues, to remove doubt what is the most fitting room. (I guess replacing «elsewhere» with a specific room link would also work). | 12:29:09 |
| @grahamc:nixos.org | great idea: #matrix-discussion:nixos.org :D | 12:30:41 |
| @grahamc:nixos.org changed the room topic to "" from "". | 12:43:28 |

| hmenke | Please create a #robotnix channel and make @danielrf:matrix.org the admin.

| kevincox | Maybe we should create a sub-space for "community rooms" and we can basically add anything there? They we can promote rooms if they are popular enough or meet some criteria? I think the real question is what is the main point of having the room have a name at nixos.org? Why not just create a room and link to it from your project page. Are you expecting that people using your project will just be browsing the room directory and decide to join? | 16:05:21 |
 philipp | That one already exists: #community-rooms:nixos.org | 16:08:13 |

 kraem | what would everyone think of having something like #{feed,updates,{^_^}}:nixos.org for when {^_^} raises from the ashes? | 18:53:05 |
| kraem | to not pollute the main channel that is | 18:57:53 |

| Sandro | also can we use a name that you can easily type and is not only special characters? | 19:43:32 |
