@avocadoom I proposed a concept how we split Nix and NixOS up. You can see it in the PR.
@flyfloh There was a discussion above that comment with @fricklerhandwerk. They also posted on the Discourse post. The point being that we need to figure out our target audience.
@avocadoom We should consider finding a good middle ground between the highly technical audience and the new to Linux audience.
@flyfloh The issue is not âis it technical or notâ but what value does Nix/NixOS bring to you?
@avocadoom itâs always about 'if it works on my machine it works on yourâs; for nix itâs on the package level, for nixos itâs on the os level
@flyfloh the issue is that many people come to the homepage and have no idea what Nix and NixOS is about.
@djacu About the catch phrase from before, do we want to consider using that as part of Nix/NixOS branding? We could certainly add something like that as part of the branding guide. Please no âI use Nix btwâ or âNix fixes thisâ messaging.
@avocadoom we should definitely be honest with the messaging and not say that Nix will solve all their problems.
@avocadoom We should make the messaging and wording on the homepage a Marketing Team task.
@flyfloh we should make the landing page PR smaller and just focus on getting NixOS on the home page. I think the focus on the landing page should be people who do not know anything about Nix and NixOS.
@idabzo I have been talking with @kate. She is asking for some help with writing GDPR guidelines for the Foundation. She will be responsible for the copy and we will be responsible for implementing it on the website.
@djacu We have had a lot of audio/video issues with jitsi. These problems disappear when we have tried using Google Meet. How do we feel about Google Meet from now on?
@avocadoom I would prefer a non-commercial platform but we can also use Google Meet.
@djacu I have been working on getting quotes from vendors on Alibaba for new Nix merchandise. I am trying to get an order of colored enamel pins, keychains, and necklaces in time for DEFCON. Prices look good. Some of the designs look really nice. Prices look good. I think I can get 200 of each shipped for around 900 USD.
