FOSDEM 2023: Nix and NixOS devroom

Is anybody going to CfgMgmtCamp after FOSDEM ? Any Nix related presentation at CfgMgmtCamp ?

I’ve sent an email to nix-devroom-manager@fosdem.org regarding the status of my talk proposal, which failed with

Recipient address rejected: Message rejected due to: SPF fail - not
    authorized.

Is there any other way to get in touch with the organizers?

Just a quick update regarding the talk acceptance: We’re running a bit behind on the reviews, we’ll publish the list of accepted talks on Tuesday (2022-12-19T23:00:00Z). Sorry about that.

Strange. If that persists, you can directly send us a private message on discourse (the list is in the top post).

Thanks a lot for all the hard work making this happen!

I’d really like to know if my talk is accepted since I need to plan my travels for January/February and currently it’s blocked on this decision. Are there any updates?

@domenkozar I just finished sending all the mails. Should be in your inbox. :blush:

Thanks a lot, looking forward to go back to Fosdem.

Nix actually started in person meetings there, It’s there I met Eelco and Rob. We went to a vietnamese restaurant after the first day and talk about Nix. Sometime around 2013.

I might be coming too and probably staying for CfgMgmtCamp too. I found a decent pair of round-trip flight ticket for 230 bucks.

Nice! I’ll be talking at CfgMgmgCamp myself as well. So, we’ll definitely cross paths there. :blush:

A good amount of the speakers have already confirmed their presence! You can look at the current line-up here. Thanks to @thufschmitt, @matthewcroughan, @RaitoBezarius, and @JulienMalka, for their continued help with organizing this event.

We hope to see a lot of Nixers at FOSDEM 2023! But for now, happy holidays. :christmas_tree:

We’ll be presenting some Nickel work at both FOSDEM and CfgMgmtCamp. See you there!

we should go back there. if it still exists :wink:

In what area are people staying for FOSDEM? and for those staying for CfgMgmtCamp too, are you also gonna stay in Ghent or travel back to Brussels each day via the 30m train ride?

I’m also interested since I was thinking of attending both events and I still have to book flights and accommodations. If someone is interested into sharing accommodations please ping me on Matrix @aciceri:nixos.dev.
Related: does it exist a “private” nixers Matrix room like for latest NixCon? It was quite useful to meet each other (even outside the venue).

I am happy to announce that the Chaos Computer Club Dresden (also known as C3D2 or Church of NixOS) will send a delegation of a handful of people in a proselytizing mission to Fosdem.

Can you create recordings of the Nix talks if possible?

FOSDEM takes care of that for us. We’ll send the recording links here once they made them available.

The talks should also be live-streamed. The link should (I hope :crossed_fingers: ) be available from FOSDEM 2023 - Nix and NixOS devroom once the event starts.

TL;DR: We couldn’t be happier with the first edition of the Nix and NixOS devroom at FOSDEM. It’s also pretty special since Nix celebrates its 20th birthday this year, which I completely forgot to mention in the devroom itself due to the excitement. :sweat_smile:

Firstly, the videos that were streamed during FOSDEM will be made available to watch on the Nix and NixOS devroom page once they are reviewed by the speakers.

I’d like to thank all the speakers for giving these outstanding presentations. To the people who attended: We underestimated the number of people that would show up, and are truly humbled by the enthusiasm and cooperation that everyone showed. We’d love to see this again next edition! :heart:

I know I already did it a million times by now, but I’ll do a million more. This devroom wouldn’t have been possible without the team effort of @RaitoBezarius, @JulienMalka, @matthewcroughan, and @thufschmitt. Again, thanks for being wonderful team players. I hope we can organize the next edition of FOSDEM 2024 Nix and NixOS devroom as well. :blush:

Thank you all for the continued support! I’d love to see you all at upcoming Nix and NixOS events, and the next FOSDEM as well, of course. :wink:

Most of the talks now have recordings available on FOSDEM 2023 - Nix and NixOS devroom . Really nice as I wasn’t able to get into the crowded nixos devroom for everything I’d wanted to watch. Thanks for organizing this!
