Minutes

  • Previous Tasks
    • People have been contacted.
    • New team lead has been selected.
    • @djacu didn’t have time to work on publishing the palette. @avocadoom will take over.
    • @avocadoom has made progress on a skeleton.
    • @mic92 fixed the surveylime instance so we can create a new survey now.
    • @djacu tried calling sumup; was on hold for too long. Will try again another time.
  • Website
    • Decision makers branch is ready for contributions GitHub - NixOS/nixos-homepage at decisionmakers
    • @ra33it0 Consider adding an executive summary at the beginning of the page. Include companies and start ups that are using it.
    • @flyfloh The first thing I look at is “Does it solve my problem?”.
    • @ra33it0 I think we should convince them to keep reading in the first paragraph and then talk about the community further down.
    • @flyfloh we have a lot of decision makers in the community. We could ask them.
    • @avocadoom We could make a discourse post.
    • @ra33it0 I don’t think there will be a lot of decision makers on discourse. Linkedin would be a better target.
    • @reyows.evets I have some contacts through Nix in the Wild I could reach out to.
  • Branding
    • @djacu no major progress this week. Preparing for NixCon.
  • Socials
    • @flyfloh I don’t have access to Linkedin. @raboof said they have access and I asked if they could give me access but never heard back. I also wrote @mic92 and @zimbatm.
  • Surveys
    • @ra33it0 would be good to add a few questions about decision makers to the survey.
      • Does your workplace use Nix?
      • Are you the one that made that decision?
      • What convinced your workplace to use Nix?
      • What prevented your workplace from using Nix?
