Key takeaways from the Summer of Nix 2024 report:
- We will have a smaller, dedicated team this year, which will focus on
- Creating an overview of the NGI0 software ecosystem
- UX improvements for discovering and running NGI0 software
- Collaboration with NGI0 grantees (software project authors)
- Workflow and automation improvements for packaging, quality control, progress tracking
- We plan to engage and support software authors with creating and maintaining their own packaging code
- This will require a combination of mentoring, code reviews, and improved documentation and tooling
- There will be a much smaller Summer of Nix 2025 where a few trainees and mentors will work on packaging complex, high-priority applications
