2023 Nix Developer Dialogues (live stream)

Continuing the tradition of the Summer of Nix 2022 — Public Lecture Series, in the coming weeks there will be another opportunity to get in touch with developers in the Nix ecosystem, learn what they are working on at the moment, and find out how you can participate. Since Summer of Nix 2023 is over, the show is called 2023 Nix Developer Dialogues.

This year will be more light-weight, and more about people and stories rather than just the technology.

The first episode will air on Friday 2023-11-17 10:30 UTC, and the schedule will be updated as we go. I will post new events with all details on the

@roberth I’m curious about the “profile” can you explain it (again) ? :wink:

He was referring to https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/tree/master/nixos/modules/profiles, which are modules that aren’t included by default, so you have to import them explicitly. In turn these don’t have any .enable option, so just importing them will enable their functionality.
