Hello, I have a suggestion—or perhaps a wish. I think it would be helpful if more people streamed while working with Nix. By that, I mean Nix, Nixpkgs, and NixOS, especially during the release times. When a new stable version gets released, it would be great if someone, or even a few people, streamed what’s going on. Or during the ZHF as well.
By this, I do mean a minimal level of involvement. Just by following the Matrix channels and GitHub communication, it’s already very exciting and wonderful to read about all the updates, deployments, staging, builds, runners—it almost feels like a sci-fi version of an ER. For me, at least, it would be fascinating, and maybe even good from a marketing perspective. It could also be really helpful for new contributors to watch “Nixers,” so to speak, especially around release times—seeing how things are done, how the release process unfolds, the pitfalls, and all of that jazz. Yes a commentary would even be better but that sounds like NixTV.
I understand things aren’t perfect, and there are hiccups and problems. But in a way, the development process is already so open and accessible. As far as I know, not much is hidden from end users. Thank you.
