Any April Fools jokes for NixOS? 😅 Eelco announced flake stabilized this month | 16:03:33 |
| @kranzes:matrix.org | Already got people pretty good with it | 16:04:49 |
| @kranzes:matrix.org | Got them searching through bunch of RFC comments and discourse posts just to not find anything | 16:07:04 |
 matthewcroughan - nix.zone | And by a bunch of people, he means just me 🫠| 16:29:57 |
 ronef | On a quick non April fools topic -
With more and more layoffs happening and just the continuing of a lot of uncertainty I thought to kick off a community program to help each other out. Would love to help anyone here or if there's someone here that wants to volunteer <3

 @theophane:hufschmitt.net | Sorry for the delay, Friday got busier than expected.
A few things that might be of interest (but none with strong metrics afaict)

- https://shopify.engineering/shipit-presents-how-shopify-uses-nix
- You might want to get in touch with https://discourse.nixos.org/u/elaforge regarding their use of Nix (because of https://discourse.nixos.org/t/developing-a-system-that-replaces-nix-remote-build/22388/1)

Should really just be hydra and nix with relaxed sandbox. Have wanted to do this, there is no money or time for it though, so many GPUs required, I only have two. | 10:13:02 |

 @gdesforges:matrix.org | garbas: where can we find the questions and answers of past year survey? | 09:06:23 |
| @gdesforges:matrix.org | (I meant text of answers, not actual answers from people) | 09:06:38 |
| @gdesforges:matrix.org | I can guess based on the survey results but if you have some sort of file that has it all it's probably easier | 09:07:22 |
| @gdesforges:matrix.org | * I can guess based on the survey results that where published but if you have some sort of file that has it all it's probably easier | 09:07:42 |
| @gdesforges:matrix.org | Now, if we want to break down this goal (getting 2023 survey out) and want to break down into tasks, where should we do that? The GitHub project is fine right? | 09:09:04 |

garbas: where can we find the questions and answers of past year survey? I wasn't able to quickly find them in my email box, but I know Valentin has the export of both. But I might just be able to get you the access to survey.nixos.org since instance to see the questions. | 11:14:16 |
 hexa | yes, can join a call | 20:13:01 |
| hexa | the highlights are not editorialized yet | 20:13:38 |
| ronef | I think I have them | 22:25:38 |

| raitobezarius | Here's a suggestion garbas: | 22:47:31 |
| raitobezarius | I really want to see a NixOS guest article on LWN.net | 22:47:43 |
| raitobezarius | Idk if this is realistic given our load in the current teams but this is something I have been itching to do | 22:48:30 |

| soulpredator09 | Hi!
I had a suggestion to make, probably adding the term/buzz word "immutability" on the website for NixOS will help users know better, and find it as something that takes a similar approach to silverblue, vanilla os (but different and better obviously). | 03:39:55 |

I really want to see a NixOS guest article on LWN.net https://itsfoss.com/tag/nix-os/ - If it helps (not sure you were aware of it), this is a series that potentially helps nixos project 🫡 | 03:42:44 |

Maybe the immutable bedrock of nix needs to be mentioned on the web site. Perhaps head over to the marketing channel and suggest that . | 04:03:30 |

https://itsfoss.com/tag/nix-os/ - If it helps (not sure you were aware of it), this is a series that potentially helps nixos project 🫡 I really don't think this is a good resource, they only recommend installing packages on NixOS with nix-env and flatpak. | 06:42:46 |
