Well, I am outside the academic world, but I will suggest some ideas: 1 - For NixOS, independence of systemd :) There are even complete discussions about it on the mailing list about getting rid of systemd. 2 - Portability across BSD platforms, like NetBSD and FreeBSD. And even the possibility to run all NetBSD stack on Nix (it would need a considerable effort to be made in only 3 months, but we can touch small things). > > PS: for inspiration: > > - http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2014/Ideas > - https://plone.org/events/summer-of-code/2014 > > Domen > > _______________________________________________ > nix-dev mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev > _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
