NixOS is not dying, please don't spread fear actively

He used his “power” on Friday to tell people to move from nix-community space to DetSys space. That alone is clearly too much power from my point of view, at least enough to tear down nix-community.

I believe this was not a very strong demonstration of “power”, rather the opposite.

@pasqui23

He had the power to force us to adopt flakes in full violation of the RFC process.

I believe flakes are not accepted in nixpkgs, or is it?

@pasqui23

He had the power to push the Andursil sponsorship despite the community’s revolt.

Now, this is an important point to address. I believe the right place to do this is NixOS Foundation Event Sponsorship Policy

Yes, but we should’ve been spoken to first. The words should’ve come from the board first, and all others second.

This topic’s purpose is a call to action to prevent fear from sending the wrong message to outsiders. NixOS is not dying. This Eeco person can’t kill the project, not even with a thousand blogposts to the wrong audience, it’s your and my responsibility to do that through constructive actions.
