Oops, this should go to the list. Some day I'll learn to press C-R instead of C-r. =)

In particular I liked the way you presented the Nix suite as a fully fledged (continuous) deployment solution rather than a mere package manager. I don't want Nix to stand alongside apt, pacman and Portage. =) > But anwyays, they've said they've tried to contact you many > times.

Of course I want NixOS to gain popularity, because that would get us at least new Nixpkgs developers. On the other hand the lack of large-scale success has helped us preserve and maintain the soundness of the system. As SPJ once said (about Haskell): "Avoid success at all costs!". Yet I can't deny that I would like to see an LAS episode featuring NixOS. I'm not a core developer, but I contribute stuff from time to time (patches, snippets and support on Freenode), and I use both NixOS and the Nix suite to most of their potential. I can both praise and complain about them a lot. =) I'll offer my soul, if nobody else has time, on the following conditions: * +1 from Eelco, * more +1s than -1s from the Nixpkgs committers (note: 0 ≯ 0). Whoami: I'm ertes on Github and mm_freak on Freenode. Some of you may know me as @ertesx, too.
