Nix 20th - Global Nix Meetups!

Announcements
1

As part of our general effort to strengthen the Nix community and spread knowledge of Nix to both experienced and new users, we are launching the Global Nix Meetup initiative. Nix 20th Anniversary - March of Nix - Announcements - NixOS Discourse

To do so, we are starting a thread to help community members interested in joining a meetup indicate the city most relevant to them. This will also help those interested in organizing to see if there is enough interest to get something going.

What you need to do:

  • Interested in participating? Comment on or like any cities/hubs where if a meetup was organized, you would attend!
  • Interested in organizing? Comment the city and say you want to organize.

The foundation has also started a grant/funding program that will directly support these meetups!

Is anyone else from Michigan?

I could attend an in-person event near Detroit, MI, or Chicago, IL.

Alternatively, since the midwestern US is quite a broad place, perhaps there would be interest in an online event.

I’m in northeast Ohio. Would be willing to drive anywhere within a few hours, including Detroit, Pittsburgh, Cleveland or Columbus.

Otherwise a virtual event would work too.

Planning to organize an in-person event in the Bay Area / Silicon Valley

Will announce it here as well as on our meetup page.

Going to be working with @ron @fzakaria and others to choose a date and venue before announcing details.

In addition to indicating you will be attending here, do let me know if you would be able to do a talk or lightening talk at the event.

Excited for this all. Thanks @ron and others involved for putting this together.
