 evils | yea but i couldn't define "composable" if asked
and the nix tool itself isn't composable | 01:17:03 |
| evils | i feel like suggesting people try NixOS is like asking them to jump in the deep end
with using nix as a package manager on whatever distro they're on, is the shallow end | 01:19:47 |
| evils | maybe i'm just biased because that's how i got into NixOS | 01:20:45 |
| evils | but i feel like i'd get more people to install nix than NixOS
and once they're using nix, moving to NixOS feels almost inevitable | 01:21:34 |
 jonringer | by composable, I mean nix packages with other nix packages | 01:22:59 |
| jonringer | you could have a python2 application with a python3 environment, and it should work | 01:23:16 |
| jonringer | Agreed, I would focus on what they could do "today", and just let it play out | 01:29:09 |
| evils | oh, what can be done in a day
not what is possible with nix these days | 01:30:35 |
 matthewcroughan - nix.zone | made a video about Nix, it's rough but intend to get better :) https://youtu.be/t09KvJcx15g | 17:54:34 |

 samueldr | I might not be able to make it to the meeting; power's not expected to be repaired unto ~2h after the start time | 13:34:53 |
| Guillaume Desforges | Hi, according to the url in room description, participation to the NixOS marketing team requires to send a mail with motivation, however this Matrix channel is public. Is this channel really designed only for people member of marketing team (and I should leave) or is it possible to stay around to have a look at the cool stuff you are doing? | 15:13:07 |
| samueldr | hi! you're free to look around and get involved | 16:03:29 |
| samueldr | the part about the e-mail is more about the recurring meetings and "really getting involved" | 16:03:58 |
| samueldr | but even then it's not a strict requirement | 16:04:10 |
| samueldr | power's been fixed since, so yeah, I'll be there | 18:21:23 |

| moritz.hedtke | (in German) but this is my personal reason to use NixOS. May be possible to have something similar as marketing | 19:02:55 |
| moritz.hedtke | So actual comparisons with the "old way". Although that example is probably not the most realistic. Still I don't know where this could he put or if this is even a good idea because I also like the current way the website does ist: just give examples | 19:06:47 |
| tomberek | ouch ^^^ | 21:10:11 |

| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | Does anybody know who owns or what the rules are regarding the NixOS company on LinkedIN? | 00:59:41 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | For the time that I'm unemployed (right now) I'd like to put that I "work for NixOS" as a placeholder on my profile, then shoot out some impressive demos, then get employed or get someone's interest. | 01:00:18 |
