Notes from the public panel held by the board on 2022-12-06T23:00:00Z
Questions/remarks from non board-members attendees:
@mightyiam
- Hard to find how to contact the board
- Would like to request funding for a code to documentation on Nix
- Organizing a community for mob programming
- live stream it on a regular schedule
- Would like to be funded (paid) for that
- Board:
- We are currently working on releasing a model to request funding that is below 1k euro
- Main goal is to support facilitating events, meetups and hacks
- Not intended to fund payment for work
- Advise to have this written down, so the board might be able to join or other community members could help
- Potentially create an avenue to “bless” projects that are happening in the community and have a high impact on it
@fricklerhandwerk
- The board should hire someone to support the admin/ops/note/project management of various efforts
Nikolai Massine
- It’s good to have a chat with like-minded individuals
Update from the board side
- Working on an event form
- Goal: Make it easy way to apply for small funding (“pizza-level” or small events)
- Board transition
- Armijn and Rob will probably leave the board soon
- Trademark
- Armijn looked into it
- Affordable (~8k€)
- Not sure what we can/want to trademark (Nix? NixOS? NixOS+logo?)
- Different implications depending on the exact choice
- We’re having issues recognizing what’s official and not in the community, but using the Logo in ways that are non-harmful shouldn’t become a problem
- Example: NixOS Wiki. Explicitly non-official, but also looks like it because of the logo.
- Basis of the usage policy: Don’t make it look like it’s an official project if it isn’t
