Minutes

  • Website
    • @avocadoom I started working on unifying the hompages components starting on typography.
      When thats done, I’ll probably merge into main to prevent too much of a derivation between the two branches.
      This will probably also the step where I’ll include the heading font update, deprecating my old font branch.
  • Branding
    • @djacu no major updates; was at SCaLE
  • Design
  • Socials
    • no updates
  • Survey
    • no updates
  • Foundation
    • no updates
  • SCaLE
    • @djacu I met Erik Aker, one of the hosts from the Picture Me Coding podcast.
      They would be interested in having someone from the NixOS project on their show.
      I will need to reach out to them to figure out what kind of episode they want to do and try and connect them with the right people.
    • I met Florine Kamdem, the Marketing Coordinator for the FreeBSD project.
      She and I talked for a bit and she shared some wonderful ideas.
      • One thing they have being doing recently is making technical videos and posting them to YouTube.
        The most popular video has received over 50,000 views! This would certainly be a neat thing to do but it would require finding someone with the time and passion to own the entire thing.
      • She also suggested having people submit their own videos and posting them to our YouTube channel.
        I am curious how that would play out.
      • She suggested that we use our social media accounts to post about different teams that need help.
        I think this would be a great way to advertise where and how the project needs volunteers.
        We could post it on discourse as well.
        I think we could pilot it with our needs and then reach out to other teams and ask if they have needs.
