Following the announcement of the creation of the Nix team, here are the notes for the first official meeting of the team (the notes are fairly shallow since most of the work happened in the related PR):
Agenda
- Draft a roadmap
- Team roadmap
- establish principles/trust internal
- external
- invariants
Meeting notes
- For this to work, need to establish trust (both internally & externally)
- External trust might be easier, just requires doing work consistently
- (perceived as) Ignored or dropped trust erodes that trust
- Internal trust is the important point
- Need to agree on some fundamental principles/invariants (like āwe donāt break userspaceā in the Kernel community, Zen of Python - Wikipedia)
- eg: https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/7087#issuecomment-1257730655
- External trust might be easier, just requires doing work consistently
- Two roadmaps
- Similar discussion in the doc team
- Drafting of a roadmap (link below)
